My friend has a duodopa pump fitted, to treat his Parkinson's. He plans to visit UK from Belgium and needs to know if he will be able to get medication and technical support in the UK, possibly in the long term, as he may eventually come to live here
the medication has to be kept refrigerated, so travelling with it can be problematic. Anyone got experience/ information?

In order to get medications for pd you need to be registered with a GP but duodopa is only at specialised centres, funding in the uk is very difficult to get
