Welcome to Med Reg News, the podcast all about helping you as medical trainees to stay up to speed with all the most important and up-to-date expert opinion in your specialty. We want to help make your learning fun, memorable and interactive.Whether you’re working in gastroenterology, cardiology or geriatrics, we’ve got you covered. We’ve spoken to some of the brightest and most experienced consultants in the country to help you grapple with the toughest topics you might face on the wards, and our aim is to break them down into manageable, bite-sized chunks. This is something we’ve been creating for a while, and we’re so excited to share it with you. My name is Stephen, I’m an elderly care doctor and teaching fellow based at East Surrey Hospital, and I am one of the team behind the MDTea Podcast which has been helping people learn more about elderly care and ageing since 2016 (and is well worth a listen if you get the chance).But what we’d love to provide with this new series of podcasts is somewhere for registrar-level trainees, like you, to gain insight and expert opinion from consultants on the topics that are most important to you when it comes to life on the wards.If you enjoy the episodes, or have questions off the back of what you hear, please get in touch with us at medregnews@gmail.com or on Twitter @medregnews. These episodes are all designed to help you, so we’d love to know if there’s anything else you’d like us to include in the future. Hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we’ve enjoyed putting them together!

Dr MacKillop is a consultant obstetric physician in the ...
