•Participants were required to have a diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and be medically stable. Participants of all ages were invited to participate and required a Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) of 24 or above. Participants who had received multidisciplinary allied health input in the past 4 months from any service were excluded as the impact of previous strategy training might influence their results. Patients were able to continue any self-management programs such as group exercise etc. All participants in this study required someone who identified as a carer. Caregivers were defined as an individual who provided care and support to the participant on a daily basis.
•For the medical input only cohort, patients were deemed eligible if they had stable symptoms and no significant change to their pharmacological management as these factors could impact their HRQoL.
•For the combined multidisciplinary allied health input cohort, patients were deemed eligible if requirement for allied health input was identified by the attending specialist neurologist and/or Parkinson’s disease nurse consultant e.g. dysphagia requiring speech pathology assessment.
