I love the show - such an easy way to keep up to date.
Thank you to the team involved in making the podcast.
It’s a pleasure to listen and learn on the go.
While other topic related podcasts are monotonous and boring this one keeps the listener alert and somewhat involved so an easy listen.
Good choice of topics.
Very well presented, accessible and fun. Thank you.
I have been listening to Red Whale since my trainee days and listen to every single episode. The content is super useful for general practice, very practical and easy to apply. They also go into some of the less common and more troublesome cases that we encounter in GP, which I find very helpful. The Pearls and charts on their website are a great reference point especially of you don’t like reading big volumes of text. Overall a must for all GPs in the UK.
Fantastic ‘in the bath’ learning. No soggy books here 😝
