  • Excellent

    I’m a newly-ish qualified GP. Subscribed to about 5 or 6 different primary care focused educational podcasts and this is by far the best.

    Clear presenters, appropriate length, excellent guests. Keep up the great work.

    Even for GPs as far as Scotland as I am, this podcast is relevant and well planned and executed.

    Really useful show notes as well.

    The case study approach is very helpful too

  • Love this podcast series

    I used this series when revising for my GP exams and now listen regularly as a GP partner. I frequently go back to the podcasts on Eczema and Psoriasis as so many helpful prescribing tips and share with trainees. I find these so easy to listen to in the car on the way to and home from work. I also recommend the fibro podcast which also really changed how I approach those consultations.

  • Best podcast for GP’s

    I am a gpst3 and have been listening to these for the last couple of years, I can do ‘revision runs’ and they keep me engaged, teach me a lot and make me laugh at times. The BEST episode is on eczema, I admit I’ve listened to it about five times and I feel my eczema consultations are some of my strongest thanks to this episode, it’s even improved my little boys eczema!! I recommend it to everyone! Thanks for the podcast!
