Navigating the New Weight Management Medication Guidelines

In our second episode, Pulse features assistant Maya Dhillon is joined by Jake Beech, policy fellow at The Health Foundation.

The pair dive into Jake's recent analysis for Pulse on the number GPs hired under the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme since October, questioning if there really are 1,500 'new' GPs and looking at the wider landscape of general practice workforce.

In our clinical update of the month, clinical editor Caroline Price unpacks the rollout and clinical challenges of weight-loss drug tirzepatide with GP and editorial adviser Dr Keith Hopcroft ahead of its implementation in primary care next month.

And, senior reporter Eliza Parr returns to give a preview of her upcoming investigation into local enhanced services.
