John Stapleton has spoken for the first time about his recent diagnosis of Parkinson's in a new BBC film with his son and BBC presenter Nick Stapleton
Renowned journalist John Stapleton, known for his work on Newsnight, Panorama, and Good Morning Britain throughout his 50-year career, has candidly shared his recent Parkinson's diagnosis in an intimate documentary with his son, BBC presenter Nick Stapleton.
A study conducted last year revealed that 74 percent of individuals might struggle to discuss care options with an older family member. Nick added: "It's early days for us, and thankfully Dad is still fairly independent, but nonetheless I want to start these conversations now, to get some potentially difficult topics out in the open and make it easier for later on."
