This week we talk about the “The Elephant in the room“ - mortality rates amongst people with Parkinson’s. Our special guest is Professor Bas Bloem, one of the world’s leading Parkinson’s experts. Bas has written a paper on the subject of life expectancy with the condition.

In recognition of his outstanding work in the field of Parkinson’s, the professor has recently been knighted in his native Netherlands. He’s one of the most engaging and eloquent speakers in the Parkie world.
