Dear all Our enquirer is trying to find out if we (as a Trust) might have access to the MDS-UPDRS Rating Scale (Movement Disorder Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale). This is an assessment tool which is available through the Movement Disorder Society,USA. She has tried emailing the society to ask how we might go about gaining permission to use the tool, but with no response so far. Their website quotes a considerable charge for the tool, but does say that in cases of "no financial support" there is no charge. The enquirer is wondering whether there's an 'organisational' (i.e. NHS) permission to use the tool. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of this, please?
