Read about one of our patients' journeys after they underwent a revolutionary treatment for sleep apnoea.

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a condition that affects millions but often goes undiagnosed. This procedure, which is still new to the UK, involves inserting a special implant, known as a hypoglossal nerve stimulator, into the chest. This small device sends pulses to the tongue to keep airways open during sleep.

Surgeons at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust were the first team outside of London to perform the procedure - a procedure which is life changing for those suffering with the condition.

Health reporter Helena Vesty was granted special access to see a procedure just being brought to the UK – as Manchester hospitals are among the first in the country to carry out the operation that could change thousands of lives
