S4 E14: The Stethoscope Song; HRT & Dementia, HF Monitoring, New Obesity Meds
Description
Welcome to the Hot Topics podcast from NB Medical with Dr Neal Tucker. NHS Long Term Workforce Plan is all over the news today. In this episode we have a look at some of the key statements, seeing what is positive for general practice, what is wishful thinking, and what could be even worse.
In research we look at new observational data from Denmark, published in the BMJ, finding an association between HRT and dementia; also a study examining the effectiveness of an intra-pulmonary artery device for identifying earlier deterioration of heart failure; and two papers in the NEJM on more weight loss medications for obesity.
