Description
Welcome to the Hot Topics Podcast with host, Dr Neal Tucker.  In this bumper edition, we have the next in our Just One More Thing series. We interview Dr Sam Merriel in collaboration with Prostate Cancer UK, talking about what we need to know in the world of prostate cancer. Should we be screening? Do we need to think beyond PSA? Does new technology change our approach? In the news, we look at the latest RCGP data on workload and whether GPs will strike, while in research we have a BJGP paper on why antimicrobial stewardship interventions may not have the impact in real life that they do in trials, a BJGP analysis of nitrofurantoin (and other antibiotic) failure in men with UTI, and a NEJM paper testing whether thiazides help renal stones.
