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.

Acute aortic syndrome and epistaxis: urgent primary care red flags
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Would you spot acute aortic syndrome hiding among the everyday presentations of chest, back or abdominal pain, and do you know when a nosebleed is more than “just a nosebleed”?
This episode unpacks the clues to a rare but life-threatening aortic emergency, before giving you a practical refresher on acute and recurrent epistaxis, from first aid and anterior versus posterior bleeds to important red flags.
Essential listening for any primary care clinician who wants to feel calmer, sharper and more prepared when the clinical picture does not quite add up.
