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

Hyperhidrosis: what works? Endocarditis prophylaxis: who needs it?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Excessive sweating can be difficult to talk about, yet its impact can be profound. This episode explores how to assess hyperhidrosis sensitively, spot possible secondary causes and navigate the changing treatment pathway, including a newly approved option.
We then tackle infective endocarditis: when to suspect it, why the classic signs may be absent, and what to say when a patient asks, “Do I need antibiotics before dental treatment?”
Press play for two clear, practical updates that could change your next consultation.
