Popis:	There is increasing recognition that integrated services provide improved quality and cost-effective care ( Ham, 2011 ; Ham and Curry, 2011 ; Goodwin et al, 2012 ). This article outlines the steps taken to create an integrated care pathway for people living with Parkinson's, a process that could be transferred to benefit those living with other neurological conditions. The impetus for this work followed increasing national interest in how services delivered by multiple service providers and professionals could be improved, and financial efficiency gained, while also optimising quality of care for those living with Parkinson's. The project sought both to create an effective integrated care pathway benefiting those living with a given condition within a specific area and then to understand how this process could be replicated for other areas and conditions.
