  • Medical education gold

    Perfect concise bite of information perfect for mrcp revision or for clinical practice as a refresher. I used these as a trainee and I still listen as a physician, great top up to keep medical knowledge sharp.

  • Fantastic learning resource!

    Fantastic podcast! Great learning - succinct, concise and very relevant topics. Great for revision, and I listen to it on my long walks and doing chores.

    Also very grateful for all of the mental health focus in times of Covid - but please, please, don’t forget about the medicine. Sometimes taking the focus of the pandemic is self care too. Thank you!
