"What we've learnt this week..." Episode 9

Welcome to the ninth episode of "What we have learnt this week…..”. These are short, 15minute, podcasts where we discuss topics that we have encountered the preceding week; whether it be on the wards, in a journal, at teaching or even on twitter!

This week Chris, Emma and Vicky are recording during lunch at their regional geriatrics teaching day. They will be discussing myeloma and MGUS; attendance and carers allowance and dual anti platelet therapy in minor stroke and high risk TIAs.
