Doctor's appointments can be stressful. You will likely have between ten or fifteen minutes to discuss your problem(s) and potential solutions. That's a lot less time than you think! Bex and Tano discuss strategies for maximising your experience with the GP and provide tips to help you get the most out of your visit to the surgery.

Our medical section is a summer special! But instead of beaches and pools, Tano and Bex have chosen to focus on less enjoyable aspects of the season, namely hay fever and insect bites!

Everyone is familiar with GPs and general practice nurses - but who are all the new faces in primary care? And what do they bring to the table?

We introduce some of these newer roles - nurse associates, first contact physios, physician associates, emergency care practitioners, and many more - and explain what they do and why you might find yourself sat in a consulting room with them instead of a GP or nurse.

In our medical section, Tano and Bex discuss the challenges of weight management and outline what to expect from a consultation concerning your weight.
