Grab your trainers, your dog lead, or a cuppa and join us for some free CPD as we have another relaxed round up of recent Red Whale primary care Pearls of wisdom. In the second of two episodes this month, Ali and Nik discuss:
- Lynch syndrome: what’s the role of primary care? How can people access testing, and what support and surveillance can be offered?
- Diagnosing pelvic inflammatory disease: a challenge in general practice. We consider how we can approach making a diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease in general practice. This is important because it has significant sequelae, including subfertility and chronic pelvic pain.
Listen as soon as you can to ensure you have full access to all the free resources.
And hear a best intentions story that suggests there might be problems developing ‘down below’!
