    Introducing Episode 6 of the Contented Clinician Podcast: Presenting balanced information about benefits and harms to patients makes you more contented

    We’ve got something a little bit different for you today, instead of our summer rewind. Some people may remember the wonderful episode about dealing with Uncertainty we did way back in 2020 with  GP, Primary Care Educator and Author Dr Avril Danczak. It was such an important episode in our careers and I know helped many others. We wanted to share the news that Avril is doing brilliant podcasting work with the ever pragmatic Professor James McCormack. Their podcast Contented clinician, people may have already found, but we thought it would be useful to post one here to signpost listeners to their good work. Welcome to Episode 6 of The Contented Clinician Podcast! Dr Avril Danczak and Professor James McCormack created The Contented Clinician Podcast to help clinicians find more joy and satisfaction in your practice by blending a collective of real-world experience, common sense, and the best available evidence. So, if you’re looking to make your clinical practice more fulfilling and sustainable, join us and our inspiring network of clinicians as we explore new perspectives and effective strategies to reshape the way you think about your work. The Case: Dr. Ashville is currently training to become a family physician. One day, they receive a phone call from a frustrated patient named Jane Brown. Jane had received a message stating: “As your cardiovascular risk is now 10%, it is recommended you take a statin medication.” She is upset because no one had a proper conversation with her about starting a new prescription. Her main concern is: “How likely am I to actually benefit from this treatment? Is it really worth it?” Dr. Ashville realizes they had simply been following a protocol and isn't entirely sure how to answer Jane's question. Wanting to better understand how to provide more balanced information, Dr. Ashville decides to discuss the issue with the clinician supervising their medical education. Resources: GP Evidence: https://gpevidence.org/   James McCormack: Doing statistics can be difficult but understanding them can be fairly simple: https://www.sensible-med.com/p/doing-statistics-can-be-difficult ___ We really want to make these episodes relevant and helpful: if you have any questions or want any particular areas covered then contact us on Twitter @PCKBpodcast, or leave a comment on our quick anonymous survey here: https://pckb.org/feedback Email us at: primarycarepodcasts@gmail.com ___ This podcast has been made with the support of GP Excellence and Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board.
