PrescQIPP Podcast: Talking Meds

Engaging conversations about medicines related dilemmas

Our fortnightly podcast is hosted by Jonathan Underhill who chats with a fantastic guest each episode about current medical issues and clinical dilemmas. 

In the next episode:

• Jonathan and Lucy talk about the sensible management of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. They discuss the so-called ‘Four Pillars’ of heart failure, remembering that the key is to consider what matters most to people and tailor our approach accordingly.
• We'll meet Janet, an 86 year old lady who Lucy has seen. She lost her husband recently and misses him terribly. She is lonely and is just starting to show signs of cognitive impairment. We discuss the importance of getting to know your patients. And perhaps their beloved pet cat or dog

Jonathan Underhill has a background as a hospital clinical pharmacist but worked for many, many years at the National Prescribing Centre (NPC) developing innovative ways of teaching therapeutics, evidence-based medicine and clinical decision making to prescribers and their support teams. Until recently, he worked at NICE as a consultant clinical adviser in their Medicines Optimisation Team.
