Job description

In September 2024, the Parkinson’s UK Excellence Network (PEN) moved to a new regional model in England and introduced the 7 newly-formed PEN regions in England, with the boundaries aligned to the 7 NHS England regions.

Read more about the new model.

The regional model in the devolved nations remains the same: there are 3 regions in Scotland, 2 in Wales and 1 region in Northern Ireland.

Last year we began gradually recruiting the consultancy services of Regional Clinical Leads in each of the 7 regions in England, to help us deliver this new model.

By the end of 2024, we were delighted to have appointed 4 Regional Clinical Leads. We welcomed Antonella Macerollo and Sarah Fraser in the north west and north east and Yorkshire, respectively.

Find out more about Antonella and Sarah here.

At the start of January 2025, Alistair Mackett and Emily Henderson joined us as the Regional Clinical Leads for the east of England and south west.
