Summary
Not to put too fine a point on it, but finding out you have Parkinson's can be kind of a big deal. So how do physicians impart that new reality? And how do they maintain their "bedside manner" through the treatment process? The Movers and Shakers are back in the Notting Hill pub, discussing all things to do with how the clinical environment is approached, by practitioners ranging from consultants through to nurses and physios. And they're joined by top guests representing the worlds of neurology, training and student medicine, to discuss.
Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman.
Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.
Additional production by Josh Munday.
Additional editing by Ewan Cameron.

| 0:45.1 | rather good reason and Mark's going to explain why. Because the topic of the day |
| 0:49.9 | is bedside manner which in many case seems to be almost non-existent of doctors |
| 0:54.6 | consultants and particularly neurologists as one of our |
| 0:58.5 | correspondence described it it's a nightmare in fact what struck me very early on is how many letters in our post bag were about this, |
| 1:06.0 | about breaking the bad news, how badly it was done, and also how the follow-up wasn't really there. |
