Customer Reviews
this podcast is better than sliced bread
For generalist clinicians this is the best and most informative way to keep up with prescribing information. The presenters are witty and evidence based. For life long learning this is a must. I find it very convenient and either listen in the car or in the gym.
The OA systematic review is a masterpiece and shows the skill of this group to review and analyse this data as well as present it in a clinically readable way. A gem for Prinary care. From Bruce Arroll New Zealand
