  • The BEST medical Podcasts ever!!

    I am an ANP in Liverpool and I have listened to all of your podcasts at least twice. I work with ANP students, Drs and medical students I always point them in your direction. I have worked for the NHS for over 30 years and you’re both so much kinder and open than the “older” Consultants I remember in Secondary care!

    I love how you both work things out differently but come to the same conclusion and I love your clinical reasoning.

    The only down side … I’d love a new podcast each week!!

    Thank... more
