  • Tips from an International Medical Graduate about joining General Practice

    Tips from an International Medical Graduate about joining General Practice
    Feb 5 2025
    For the podcast this week we spoke to Dr Abid Ali Khan, a GP trainee in East London currently on a Clinical Fellowship in Leadership (National Medical Directors Clinical Fellow). We focused on his experiences as an International Medical Graduate to gain an understanding of the challenges he faced coming to the UK. We got his advice for other International Medical Graduates and those supporting IMGs. We have a second episode out next month focusing more on what practices and staff can do to help support International Medical Graduates. A useful listen for all working in Primary Care and specifically those new to Practice in the UK and to Educational and Clinical GP Supervisors.

    You can use these podcasts as part of your CPD - we don’t do certificates but they still count :)

  • Hepatitis C

    Hepatitis C
    Jan 15 2025
    Doctors Lisa and Sara talk to Hepatitis C GP Champion Dr Lindsey Kent and Greater Manchester Peer Programme Manager Tony Horrocks for an overview of Hepatitis C. We cover the basics around the virus and prevalence, potential symptoms and at risk groups to consider when offering testing. We discuss the great work being done to eradicate Hepatitis C in Manchester (and around the UK) including Tony’s personal story as well as his work as a Peer Programme Manager. Wonderful to hear the success rate for cure with medications and how the team ‘leave no one behind’. Great listening for all of us working in General Practice.

Great for ANP’s and ACP’s

As a relatively new Paramedic Practitioner to UK Primary Care this is a great resource. Having worked in Australia for years. This is perfect for exploring the NHS way of doing things
