Method and apparatus for fluid delivery

A method for delivering fluid to a brain of a subject using a modular fluid delivery apparatus comprising a first part and a second part, the method comprising the steps of:

• taking a subject having the first part of the modular fluid delivery apparatus subcutaneously implanted therein, the first part of the modular fluid delivery apparatus comprising a first length of tubing having a first end and a second end, the first end having a first fluid connector portion attached thereto and the second end being connected to one or more catheters implanted within the brain of the subject;
• taking the second part of the modular fluid delivery apparatus, the second part comprising a second length of tubing having a third end comprising a second fluid connector portion;
• making an incision in the subject to gain access to the first fluid connector portion of the first part of the modular fluid delivery apparatus;
• and
• connecting the first fluid connector portion to the second fluid connector portion.
