The NHS has now agreed to provide hypoglossal nerve stimulation implants free to all patients with sleep apnoea (who meet the criteria). This video is about my trip to New York where I meet several different doctors and learn new things about this implant.

In this video I met Dr Ash Kacker who performs this operation several times a month. He works in Cornell hospital in Manhattan.
