NB Medical Education
About this episode

Welcome to the Hot Topics podcast from NB Medical with Dr Neal Tucker. A belated Happy New Year! In our round-up of new research, we look at three papers.

Firstly, what have been the effects of increased hybrid working in general practice, particularly with the introduction of digital tools and triage?

Secondly, do patient decisions aids help patients with choices on anticoagulation in AF and does this help us?

Finally, can appendicitis be safely treated with antibiotics and could we be doing this in general practice soon?
