About this episode

Welcome to Season 5 of the Hot Topics podcast from NB Medical with Dr Neal Tucker.

Despite celebrating our 25th birthday (don't forget to check out our NB Plus birthday special here) the world of medical news and research never stops.

In this episode we look at research in the BJGP about motivations behind being a GP, whether adding NSAIDs may improve efficacy of emergency contraception, and whether we should be worried about cancer in patients with reflux.
