CME Interview - Moonboots are not benign - Mr Peter Black FRCS (Tr & Ortho)
Friday Sep 27, 2019
Friday Sep 27, 2019
Moonboots are not benign devices and should be prescribed with the same thought and consideration as you would a medication.
We hear from Mr Peter Black - a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon in Hamilton, NZ, who specialises in the lower limb. With regard to the Orthopaedic mantra of Movement is Life, he explains how Moonboots can cause significant issues for our patients and how we can go about avoiding these.
Many Thanks to Peter for talking to our podcast.

Urgent Bite 39 - Determining Antibiotic Drug Allergies in UC
Friday Sep 13, 2019
Friday Sep 13, 2019
Drug Allergies - an important part of the history but we often don't have the luxury of knowing accurate, immunologically verified information. As with a lot of Urgent Care, we are often somewhat in the dark, but one way to avoid an antibiotic reaction is to not give the antibiotic in the first place.

Mind Matters - Mindfulness explained by Dr Zoë Cruse
Friday Sep 06, 2019
Friday Sep 06, 2019
Could simple mindfulness techniques help you clear you mind at the end of a busy and stressful shift?
We hear how Dr Zoë Cruse uses mindfulness to improve her physical and mental wellbeing as she balances life alongside working and training full time in Urgent Care.
We all need to find healthy ways of cleansing ourselves of the stresses and strains inherent to Urgent Care practice. If mindfulness works for Zoë, maybe it could work for you.

We need to talk about Burnout - with Dr Zeshan Qureshi
Monday Sep 02, 2019
Monday Sep 02, 2019
Burnout and Mental Health problems can affect clinicians in all specialities and of all grades. For too long it has been swept under the carpet for the mistaken belief that it is a sign of weakness and poor character. But of late people have started to speak up on the topic. For a profession that exists to care for people, failure to care for ourselves results in poorer patient outcomes and is the reason we have such a high suicide rate within medicine.
Dr Zeshan Qureshi is one of a growing number of Doctors speaking up on burnout and Mental Health in Medicine, and the systems and pressures within medicine that contribute to the problem.
My thanks to Zeshan for talking to our podcast about this very important issue.
