Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Getting Frailty Right: Modern Approaches to Community Care (12 Oct 2026)
Q: How should clinicians identify frailty in real world practice, whether that be in primary or secondary care?
Harman recommends using risk stratification to identify people who may benefit from assessment, looking for frailty phenotype criteria such as weight loss, reduced muscle strength, slow gait, exhaustion and low activity, and considering frailty syndromes such as falls, immobility, medication reactions, delirium or new incontinence. The Clinical Frailty Scale should reflect the person's baseline before acute illness.
Getting Frailty Right: Modern Approaches to Community Care (12 Oct 2026)
Q: What does frailty actually mean?
Harman describes frailty as reduced resilience to stress, related to ageing and the gradual loss of reserves across multiple body systems. A stressor can cause a lasting decline in a person's ability to carry out daily activities.
An introduction to cardio-oncology (19 Oct 2026)
Q: Are there certain cardio-oncological emergencies that you would expect all trainees to not necessarily be able to treat but at least have an awareness of so that they can escalate appropriately?
Pericardial effusion is a familiar emergency. Trainees should also recognize checkpoint inhibitor-related myocarditis, which can progress to heart block, ventricular dysfunction or overlapping myositis and myasthenia, sometimes requiring intensive support.
An introduction to cardio-oncology (19 Oct 2026)
Q: Which patients should be worried about that they're at risk and they're the ones that we need to be following up or seeing in the clinic?
Clinicians should assess established cardiac risk factors, including heart failure, coronary or valvular disease, uncontrolled blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol, and can use formal European Society of Cardiology or International Cardio-Oncology Society risk scores.
Digital Health Literacy (22 June 2026)
Q: What does the term digital health mean in clinical practice?
Digital health is about using information and communication technologies, along with AI and other innovations, to support the delivery of health care and improve patient outcomes; it is both a field of knowledge and a set of practical tools.
