Reflective, open, honest and considered. I love listening to Ben and Amy on my dog walks- thank you and keep going please ! Ruth ANP primary care
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!!

Such a lovely inspiring podcast. Dr Burbridge and Dr Ben Lovell are so much fun to listen to and I never miss a single episode and have listened to every episode since its inception!
Thank you so much
I’ve been listening to this podcast since medical school, and it’s been a consistent source of engaging and memorable cases. Now, as I approach the end of my F1 year, I find that each episode offers something practical I can apply on the job. Long may it continue!
So so relatable
Love it all

Real-world clinical case discussions anchored in cognitive biases and human factors shape decision-making in acute medicine. Across episodes, hosts explore diagnostic uncertainty, reflective practice, and the ways time pressure and teamwork influence judgments, often drawing on memorable cases from emergency and hospital settings. The format emphasizes practical learnings, clear reasoning, and the human side of medicine, making it valuable for clinicians, trainees, and healthcare leaders seeking actionable insights on clinical decision-making and patient safety. A standout aspect is the strong focus on cognitive biases—anchoring, bias in referrals, and metacognition—paired with relatable, case-based storytelling that blends medical rigor wi... more
