  • Valuable perspectives on primary care

    I work in allied health and am really enjoying the perspectives on primary care and healthcare generally. Tracy Johnson episode a highlight - sobering but hopeful (and what a great speaker she is, thanks for the ep!). This poddy is an enjoyable way to keep a finger on the pulse of issues & thinking in primary care.

    This should be compulsory for all med students and generalists - it is just such a fantastic way to access up to date knowledge. As a GP, I love that Sam has this wonderful and humble way of getting curious about the nitty gritty of medicine. Cannot recommend this highly enough - very grateful you are taking the time to do this Sam!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#219 Fast Facts in Sexual and Reproductive Health with Dr Sara Whitburn
Q: How should GPs navigate the menopause transition when considering contraceptive needs and endometrial protection?
Treat menopause as a transition period where contraception and endometrial protection may overlap. Use transdermal estrogen for those with VTE risk or migraine with aura, and choose regimens (COCP vs MHT) based on risk profiling, bleeding goals, and endometrial protection requirements.
#219 Fast Facts in Sexual and Reproductive Health with Dr Sara Whitburn
Q: What are the most common contraception questions GPs encounter, and how has the PBS update changed available options?
Clinicians should start with medical eligibility criteria, then tailor contraception to patient needs, considering non-contraceptive benefits. The UK/December 2025 updates have clarified MEKs and widened PBS-listed options like certain drospirinone-based pills and vaginal rings, making it easier to match efficacy with patient preference and cost.
#218 Workers' Compensation with Greg Spinda
Q: What is the role of the IME in impairment assessments versus common law claims?
IME for impairment focuses on objective criteria and physical function, while IMEs in common law claims address broader issues including pre-existing conditions, aggravation, and future treatment needs; both require a solid factual foundation in medical records.
#218 Workers' Compensation with Greg Spinda
Q: What should be considered when determining return-to-work capacity?
Use clinical judgment, involve allied health professionals when needed, and consider both physical and psychological factors; if uncertain, defer to specialists like OTs or rehab professionals to assess capacity for suitable duties.
#218 Workers' Compensation with Greg Spinda
Q: How should a GP handle uncertain diagnoses on the medical certificate?
Avoid guessing; use provisional or generic wording (e.g., low back pain) and note that further investigations are pending, which helps insurers understand the case without committing to a specific diagnosis prematurely.
