Purpose: People with Parkinson's disease (hereafter Parkinson's) can experience stigma through the attitudes and actions of others (enacted stigma) and through anticipation of enacted stigma and internalisation of negative stereotypes (felt stigma). Self-compassion may protect against the impact of stigma. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between self-compassion, stigma, and psychological distress among people with Parkinson's.

- The study aimed to identify factors that predict whether individuals with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) attend their first outpatient neuropsychology appointment.
- A telephone triaging system was introduced, and data from 161 patients were analyzed, revealing that higher age, shorter wait times, and responding to the triage call increased attendance likelihood.
- The findings suggest that both patient characteristics and service practices influence attendance, emphasizing the need for targeted outreach, particularly for younger patients and those facing longer wait times.
