  • 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.

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.
Challenging Consultations Podcast
Q: What is your approach when you're in a consultation that is beginning to go downhill?
Recognize the dysfunction and find ways to shift the conversation away from conflict.
EKU Podcast: Physical health in severe mental illness
Q: Carolyn, can you explain the reasons behind the mortality gap?
People with SMI die younger due to a combination of physical health problems, iatrogenic factors, lifestyle choices, and the way they may present their symptoms.
