  • Insightful and educational

    When prioritising time, continuing education often comes low on my to-do list. This podcast is a way to fit CPD into my busy day, while I’m out for a walk, doing the housework or driving my car.

    Sometimes the content is reviewing topics with which I’m already familiar, often updated with new guidelines and recommendations and sometimes there are topics I’ve not learnt before. I have even implemented the knowledge gained in the podcasts into my everyday practice.

    Would recommend to any Austra... more

    Thank you to all who work on this podcast!

    I just REALLY wish that the quality of the audio recordings were better - I tend to listen to this in the car most of the time, and it is quite often near impossible to hear the host (and sometimes some of the guests, depending on the episode). I often have to then delay... more
