Reflections on Ukraine: Spirit, Struggles, and Skills

This month for the November 2023 episode of the RCEM Learning Podcast we've got a New in EM segment looking at the INTERACT3 trial looking at blood pressure targets following intracerebral haemorrhage. We then have Becky and Chris discussing the British Thoracic Society's new guidance on spontaneous pneumothorax. We then listen to Nikki Abela and Damian Roland talking about PERUKI, and then listen to Dave Clarke's experiences working in the Ukraine. We then end with New Online. If you'd like to email us, please feel free to do so here.
