Talking Meds Episode 13: Using the GP Evidence website with Dr Julian Treadwell

Jonathan speaks with Dr Julian Treadwell, an academic GP who has developed the absolutely fabulous resource GP Evidence.

Julian has worked for many years in UK General Practice and is keenly interested in polypharmacy, multiple long-term conditions and evidence-based practice. He developed the website GP Evidence which provides easily accessible and understandable information on the benefits and harms of treatments for long-term conditions. He has additional roles with NICE as a moderator of their GP Reference Panel, was a founding member of the Royal College of General Practitioners standing group on Overdiagnosis (see below if you want to join) and is an associate editor of the Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin.
