A bite-sized, regular chat for all healthcare professionals working in primary care. Episodes cover clinical tips and hot topics. New episodes published every Thursday or Friday.
In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson focuses on nasopharyngeal carcinoma, an uncommon head and neck malignancy in many parts of the world, but one with distinctive epidemiology, biology and patterns of presentation. It has a strong association with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), occurs with striking geographical and ethnic variation, and often presents with cervical lymphadenopathy rather than obvious symptoms from the primary tumour. The episode looks at the current WHO histological classification, the role of EBV and host factors, the clinical features that should raise suspicion, and how the disease is investigated and staged. It then reviews the principles of modern treatment, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy and multidisciplinary management, and discusses prognosis and post-treatment surveillance.

Ep 230 – Hepatitis B
In this episode, Dr James Waldron is joined by Dr Rik Fijten, a GP with an extended role in gastroenterology, to discuss hepatitis B, the third instalment in a four-part hepatology series. Why are emergency departments (EDs) finding so much hepatitis B through opt-out blood-borne virus testing? Who is most at risk and why is hepatitis B such an important health inequalities issue? The discussion covers how hepatitis B is often missed, what primary care can do better, and how earlier detection can help prevent cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Ep 229 – Continuous glucose monitoring
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has moved from being a specialist technology used mainly in type 1 diabetes to becoming one of the most important developments in modern glucose management. What began as a way of collecting more frequent glucose measurements has evolved into a platform capable of displaying trends, predicting future glucose changes and, when integrated with insulin pumps, automatically influencing treatment. More recently, CGM has expanded into type 2 diabetes, consumer health, early diagnostic research and telemedicine, while artificial intelligence is opening the possibility of increasingly individualised prediction and decision support. At the same time, researchers are working on longer-lasting and potentially non-invasive sensors. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson revisits how CGM developed, looks at where the technology is heading, what these advances could mean for clinical practice, and the challenges GPs need to consider as glucose monitoring becomes increasingly predictive and automated.
