  • Exercise wins out

    Absolutely awesome results with the Challenge study and the awesome team. I knew the theory but couldn’t believe the difference it made for me all the way through treatment and beyond. Cannot rate this highly enough and thanks Bogda for interviewing Janette and Haryana. Let’s get this on everyone’s lips

  • Oncology Journal Club Podcast

    Independent, educational but funny. It feels like you are listening in to a conversation between intelligent colleagues who are keen to pass on their knowledge and their passion for oncology. They curate the best of the oncology literature and present it on the podcast. Links are provided to the papers for a deeper dive. A great way to hear about new things in oncology suitable for practicing clinicians, trainees, medical, pharmacy nursing and allied health even surgeons might understand!
