    Does Genomics Matter in Primary Care?

    Does Genomics Matter in Primary Care?

    Do you have any idea about how much of a role Genomics is beginning to play in the care of our patients?  Or do you continue to pretend it doesn't matter?

    We're excited to introduce a 6-part series that demystifies genomics for Primary Care staff.  In a manner that is easy-to-understand and grounded in the realities of working in Primary Care, the experts cover everything we need to know, step-by-step.  This is episode 1 of 6. 

    THIS EPISODE Is about helping you understand the importance of Genomics to Primary Care Professionals.  You will learn that applying Genomics is actually more for Primary Care than for anyone else (including geneticists).  You'll also learn that it doesn't have to be complicated.
    As your 'average' frontline GP and paramedics, co-hosts Munir Adam and Claire Green  speak to the experts, to whom we are grateful:
    Dr Angela George, North Thames Genomic Medicine Service Co-Medical Director, and Consultant Medical Oncologist and Consultant in Oncogenetics at the Royal Marsden Hospital. Dr Anwar Khan, working GP and GP Lead for Genomics (NTGMSA).SPONSOR:  The Genomics mini-series was sponsored by, and co-produced with the North Thames Genomics Medicine Service.

    Are Physician Associates replacing Doctors?

    Are Physician Associates replacing Doctors?

    As a Doctor do you have concerns about the impact of Physician Associates on you, and on patient safety? Or do you welcome their contributions?

    As an AHP or Nurse, can you relate to some of the tensions that exist between the professions?

    This is the FIRST HALF of a discussion in which hosts Munir Adam (the GP) and Marium Hanif (the PA) explore the PA role and upcoming PA regulation by the GMC 2024.  With input from Stephen Nash, they discuss experiences on the ground, the variety of concerns: Training, pay disparity, supervision, competing roles, and more.

    IN THIS EPISODE:  Really get to understand mental health, both for yourself and for your patients. 

    Co-host, Irina Varlan speaks with Matt Elswood, about the complexities of mental health conditions, stressing the importance of understanding mental health better rather than offering oversimplified solutions. Elswood emphasizes the need for non-prescription solutions  such as developing gratitude, agency, and humility. He presents five categories of preventative measures for all to know about and also the barriers to accessing care.  The conversation also covers the importance of building rapport with patients and the necessity of tailoring care and public health initiatives to improve mental health outcomes.
