  • Horrible audio for 2026

    Podcasts have good topics but the audio is seriously poor given the technology available in 2026.

  • Adenomyosis

    Entire section on adenomyosis and no mention of women. How do we focus on women’s health if we cannot even say the word. It is very sad.

  • Overall pretty good.

    Really great content, super useful summaries. The sound quality could be better though. It’s a bit hard to hear the speakers clearly if you’re listening anywhere other than a quiet environment.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EKU Podcast: Rational testing in primary care
Q: Any sort of top tips around dealing with test results and patient queries?
Explain the expected results and follow-up before or when testing. Patient-facing comments should use clear language and state what the result means and what happens next, while practices should preserve non-digital ways to access results.
EKU Podcast: Rational testing in primary care
Q: When should we say maybe not to test?
Consider whether testing can establish or exclude a diagnosis, change management, support safe monitoring or meet applicable evidence-based guidance. The decision should fit the individual patient, and the rationale should be shared with them.
Learning disabilities podcast
Q: Why do you think so few people are being coded with a learning disability nationally?
There is no single national diagnostic service for adults, and many people may go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed; tools exist (like the Leeds inclusion tool) to gauge likelihood, but confirmation still relies on conversation and clinical judgment.
Challenging Consultations Podcast
Q: What do you think are the general trends in how people handle tricky consultations at various points in their careers?
Newly qualified GPs focus on getting diagnoses right; experienced GPs learn to manage expectations and avoid overtesting.
Challenging Consultations Podcast
Q: How do you deal with those sorts of issues?
Understand how you feel in order to be an effective clinician and talk it out with colleagues.
