“Quality of this programme has diminished considerably. Latest episode regarding growth of cancer rates amongst younger people an uninformative, qemotive, speculative tour of possible causes which lacked evidence. In contrast no mention of the fascinating topic of over diagnosis/ over treatment.”

“I used to look forward to each new episode of what used to be a really interesting programme about health conditions, interviewing sufferers and their doctors and with excellent analysis by Margaret McCartney. BBC should make a different programme with a different name to cover the recent topics...”Read full review »

“Genuinely used to love this podcast. As a Gp it helped me to stay abreast of many developments and gave an in depth “behind the headlines “ view.
Told everyone about it.
But more recently I am finding it much less informative and more shallow/ populist and so sadly have stopped recommending it...”Read full review »

“James Gallagher isn’t a patch on the old team. Long winded and he doesn’t ask the questions properly. Latest episode was about long covid clinics but failed to give useful info on them. Also discussed vaccines efficacy percentages but again simply didn’t explain it.
Sorry - but he isn’t...”Read full review »

“I can’t even listen to this episode—the description is so full of pseudo medicine—in a time when the medical world is trying so hard to combat Covid misinformation, this is a travesty. It seems to consist of testimonials—which are NOT evidence, and Claudia Hammond should know better. I may tune...”Read full review »
