Dr Barry Vieira awarded Parkinsons WA award

Dr Barry Vieira has recently been awarded the 2025 Janet McLeod Health Professional Award from Parkinsons WA, for the development of the Parkinsons Service at Osborne Park Hospital.

Our Parkinsons Service covers statewide referrals and provides a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and managing Parkinsons in older adults.

The Janet McLeod Health Professional Award is awarded annually to a health professional who makes an outstanding contribution to clinical excellence, leadership, education, and culture in caring for individuals living with Parkinsons.

Dr Vieira, a general physician, established this service at Osborne Park Hospital. He has been instrumental in identifying the needs of the elderly and streamlining diagnosis and care processes for many years.

He is a long-standing leader in the field of geriatric and rehabilitation medicine, and his dual interest in general internal medicine and geriatrics means he is well-placed to manage complex older patients with multiple conditions.
