Disinformation and misinformation, AI in primary care and antidepressant tapering

In this podcast accompanying the January 2026 issue of the DTB (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/64/1), Syba Sunny (DTB Clinical Editor) is joined by Tom Nolan, an NHS general practitioner and Clinical Editor at BMJ Medicine. Syba and Tom first talk through this month’s editorial on disinformation and misinformation (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/64/1/2), and discuss ways to combat these in medicine. They then provide an overview of a DTB Forum article, which explains the benefits of taking people off antidepressants using the hyperbolic tapering method (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/64/1/3). The episode ends with Tom sharing his thoughts about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in primary care.   Please subscribe to the DTB podcast to get episodes automatically downloaded to your mobile device and computer.
