Jo was diagnosed with Parkinson’s when she was just 47 years old. At 54, she underwent a surgical treatment called deep brain stimulation (DBS).

This procedure, available on the NHS, is used to treat the some of the most severe symptoms of Parkinson’s. Although not a cure, it can bring back some quality of life to Parkinson’s sufferers.

This short film is extracted from a mini-series I co directed and filmed with Parkinson’s UK. It takes us back to the beginning and some of the defining moments in Jo’s decision to opt for DBS.

Sharing her journey with this life-altering condition, Jo has inspired many with her insight, wisdom and wit. Having been a nurse and a lecturer working in the NHS, she’s a keen defender of this vital public service.

The series DBS and Me on YouTube has over 1 million views so far.
