Red Whale Season 2 Episode 13

Grab your trainers, your dog lead or a cuppa and join us for some free CPD as we have another relaxed round up of recent Red Whale primary care Pearls of wisdom.  August was another bumper month of information, meaning that we can’t possibly squeeze it all into one handy sized episode, so in the second of two episodes this month, Caroline and Nik discuss: 

  • The national Medical Examiner System- big changes came into play in England and Wales on 9th September 2024. How’s it going for you?
  • HRT regimens and progestogen dosing: time to change our practice? Unopposed oestrogen can increase the risk of endometrial cancer, so it must be balanced with an adequate dose of progestogen. But what is an adequate dose? 

Listen as soon as you can to ensure you have full access to all the free resources. 

And hear a best intentions story where a good deed ended up with one of our listeners wedged under a bed in a nursing home!
