S5 E8: "Pharmacy First Song"; Rehab for Long Covid; Urate to Predict Acute Gout

Welcome back to the Hot Topics podcast from NB Medical with Dr Neal Tucker. In this episode, we think about the pay offer for practices in England, a new King’s Fund report on the under-funding of primary care for three decades, and the introduction of Pharmacy First. In new research, we have two papers. First, in the BMJ, can an online combined exercise and psychological programme improve quality of life for patients struggling after hospitalisation with covid? Second, in JAMA, can serum urate levels help predict future flares of gout and guide us on who might benefit the most from urate-lowering therapyReferencesKings Fund Report on Primary CareBMJ Post-covid-19 syndrome and online programmeJAMA Serum urate and recurrent goutwww.nbmedical.com/podcast
