S7 E2: "Not Phone-Calling" song; AIR for kids; SCAN for cancer; GP number trends

Welcome to the Hot Topics podcast from NB Medical with Dr Neal Tucker! In this episode, we talk about some real research rather than stuff made up by over-tanned heads of state. Three papers. First, can researchers fill the gap on whether anti-inflammatory reliever therapy is best for mild asthma ? Second, how effective are SCAN pathways for suspected cancer in patients with non-specific symptoms who don't meet site-specific referral criteria, and what lessons can we learn from years of referrals? Third, how do the numbers of licensed GPs differ from actual GPs working , and how does this all compare to what's happening with hospital consultants?
