The Parkinson School offers comprehensive support and information for people with Parkinson's and their families. As one of the original main goals of the Parkinson Verbund eV, the Parkinson Journal has taken on the task of realizing this.

The result is a unique series of lectures that covers the entire spectrum of topics related to our disease. The series of lectures aims to educate participants about Parkinson's disease and to deepen their knowledge. In online lectures lasting around one hour, all essential aspects of the disease are covered in order to enable those affected to meet their therapists and neurologists on an equal footing and to deal with the disease more confidently.

A first comprehensive meta-analysis was published by Liu and colleagues in the journal Neurology in 2011 and found that people with Parkinson's had more than double the risk of being diagnosed with melanoma. An important study on this topic was also published in 2010 by John Bertoni and colleagues in the Archives of Neurology (later renamed JAMA Neurology). The Bertoni study used data from the North American Parkinson's and Melanoma Survey Group and found that the incidence of malignant melanoma was 2,24 times higher in the Parkinson's cohort compared to the general population.
