Today I speak to Primary HD’s very own Habibur Shah about how he revised diabetes and its associated drugs, how he applied theory to practice and his experience with patients managing the condition in his many roles.
Angina, STEMI and NSTEMI - how to tackle them before, during and after the exam. We talk about the main points in the guidance and how a day 1 pharmacist can feel confident in assessing patients in the community and after discharge.
Primary HD has embarked on an exciting new project with the UKBPA. Today, I speak to Elsy, the founder of the UKBPA, Ojali, a tutor and board member and Ti, a foundation pharmacist on differential attainment, and why support within the profession is so important.
Welcome back to a whole new year of chatting about pharmacy with me, Sannah Khan and a new set of guests about so many brilliant engaging topics.
A crash course in what happens if you pass, if you’re unsuccessful and if you want to contest your result for the registration assessment. It can feel daunting because there always looks like there’s so much to do, but PrimaryHD is here to clear those muddy waters. Good luck whoever is listening and is to sit the assessment at the end of the month!
It’s the run up to the exam! It can be a stressful time, one of fear and exhilaration. We’re here to make it that bit easier.
Blood and nutrition are chapters in the BNF that people find hard to grasp, but join me in this episode where I try and make it easier to get your head around, because they really are fascinating topics!
Summaries of product characteristics can be daunting documents, but they’re part of resource packs in the exam and you’ll be using them for the rest of your career. They’re a treasure trove of information so strap in for a journey through the SmPC!
All the classes of antimicrobials, antivirals and antifungals broken down and explained.
This is an episode that ties together with a lot of past ones, and I hope it makes this rather daunting section of revision that bit easier.
This month we're going through the different types of analgesics on the pain ladder, their associated strengths, limitations and side effects, and how they fit into different guidelines.
We also speak about NRT, alcohol dependence, opioid dependence and associated drugs and regimens.
This episode is all about the essentials to know in relation to cancer, treatment and the side effects of it.
Malignant disease can be a daunting topic, as there seems to be so much we have to know, so give the episode a listen, and hopefully you'll leave a lot more confident.

Controlled drugs have their own prescription requirements, their own private prescriptions, their own requisition requirements and so much more. It can be a bit confusing to try and remember all of this, so in this week's episode, we go through the salient bits of the controlled drugs section in the MEP, with a few stories from my personal experiences.

We're back on the narrow therapeutic index drugs! This week, we talk about theophylline and gentamicin, and how to manage toxicity. These two drugs are so commonly tested in the exam and pharmacists are always heavily involved in the prescription of these medicines.
Have a listen, let me know what you think!
This week, I explore the MEP, prescription requirements, legal classifications of drugs, the importance of ethics in pharmacy practice and why you should not skip the appendices.

This week it's all about the drug that's been in the news: lithium, and phenytoin, which has its own quirks.

I speak about INR, indications of warfarin and digoxin, counselling points and what to watch out for in practice.
This week we go through what I think is the most complex system in the body: the endocrine system.
I explore thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, diabetes, insulins, complications from diabetes and steroids.
