  • Fun learning for GPs and GP trainees

    I’ve done a few NB medical courses and I think they are one of the best out there for GP education, and this podcast is just as great and easy to listen to whilst in the car. I learn a lot from these podcasts and listened to them when studying for my exams which also helped. The tone is very upbeat and enthusiastic which is great, compared to a boring lecture, so it’s fun to listen to and learn at the same time. The volume could be higher though, as it seems much lower than my other podcasts I l... more

  • Neil you’re amazing

    Fantastic podcast, started listening around the haircuts in Covid Times episode and wait avidly for each new contribution. Palatable summaries of the latest science as well as on the nose assessments of what has been in the news between episodes affecting patients and GPs. Talented singer, songwriter and musician to boot, has Neil missed his calling? Showbiz’s loss is General Practice’s gain. Thankyou for brightening up Fridays whilst both educating us and making us smile too.
