Pump It Up

We take a look at the use of pump technology (Produodopa) in battling the symptoms of Parkinson’s..

A small pump delivers a continuous dose of medication under the skin through a small needle.

How will it improve 'off' periods ?

How difficult is it to manage the pump and change the infusion site?

Can you lead a normal life with it?

Parkinson’s patients Anna Jewell and Helga McFarlane together with 'Professor AI' tell us the pros and cons of pumping it up!

Plus- Find out what happened when Kuhan turned off his DBS to play tennis…

Dave starts his brain surgery journey…

And Billy Connolly gets a new job as a museum tour guide…
