Red Whale Primary Care Pod
Welcome to the Primary Care Pod from Red Whale – join GPs Nik Kendrew and guests as each month they discuss a roundup of four key topics for primary care clinicians, which can also be found in our popular free Pearls.
We look at the evidence, the guidelines and the media coverage and make learning together as a primary care community as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. We invite you to nominate your primary care heroes and share your best intentions stories. So, grab a cuppa or put on your trainers and head out for some fresh air whilst you enjoy this month’s podcast.
We'd love to hear your feedback by email - podcast@redwhale.co.uk or leave us a voice message - https://www.speakpipe.com/RedWhalePrimaryCarePod
Red Whale Primary Care Pod
Dementia prevention, men’s health, and the art of making every contact count
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dementia prevention and men’s health are two topics that can feel too big for a ten or fifteen minute primary care consultation. Helping to make it feel more manageable, Fiona Ritchie and Nik Kendrew explore how we can talk positively about “brain health”, make sense of the 14 modifiable dementia risk factors, and spot the prevention wins hiding in routine consultations.
They also widen the lens on men’s health beyond urogenital symptoms, looking at cardiovascular risk, cancer, mental health, screening gaps, help-seeking behaviour and why the appointment that never happens may be the most important one.
Press play for practical, compassionate ideas to help every contact count, without adding another impossible job to the primary care to-do list.
