On this month’s episode, we focus on how we transform health: helping people to live happier, healthier and longer lives. 

We look at how we are leading the way for new life, through IVF. We meet Alexandra and Luke, to learn about their IVF journey and find out more about our exclusive NHS partnership to train reproductive scientists. 

Continuing our health theme, we investigate the ground-breaking research that helps us understand more about Parkinson’s disease. 

We speak to experts from Manchester Metropolitan and in clinical practice to hear more about how new technology is improving symptoms and making life-changing advancements for people living with the condition. 

Finally, with the NHS under continuous pressure, we look to the future and developing a pipeline of talented healthcare professionals.
