Prescription shortages, liver health, plus Tony Blackburn

On Episode 3 of The Dr Hilary Show, brought to you by Healthspan, https://www.healthspan.co.uk/, I’m joined by the man who launched Radio 1 in 1967 and recently celebrated 60 years on the air.

On July 25th, 1964, Tony Blackburn put on a pair of headphones and sat behind a microphone for the very first time on the pirate ship Radio Caroline; since then, he’s been on the radio pretty much non-stop and at the age of 81, he’s still going strong.

Tony talks about his health over the years and explains why he’s still working at 81.

Also, in Episode 3, pharmacist Raj Patel discusses fake weight-loss injections and why drug shortages are commonplace in the UK.

Plus, around 10,000 people will die of alcoholic liver disease in the UK this year. It’s the biggest killer of those aged 35-49. How much do you know about safe drinking levels? I’ve been speaking with one of the country’s top Hepatologists, Professor Stephen Ryder, for his thoughts and advice.
