Grab your trainers, your dog lead or a pumpkin spice latte and join us for some free CPD as we have another relaxed round up of recent Red Whale primary care Pearls of wisdom. October was another bumper month of information, meaning that we can’t possibly squeeze it all into one handy sized episode, so in the second of two episodes this month, Ali and Nik discuss:

• Mpox- what do we need to know after the WHO declared Mpox a ‘public health emergency of international concern’ ?
• Ovarian cancer: genetic risk. Did you know that reducing the risk of ovarian cancer death with risk-reduction surgery is an alternative for some at higher genetic risk of the disease, and is now recommended by NICE?
• Gut microbiome: cutting through the noise. We unpack the growing understanding of the importance of the gut microbiome, why it matters and future practical applications…

Listen as soon as you can to ensure you have full access to all the free resources.

And hear a best intentions story where you will feel for everyone involved!
