In this podcast accompanying the September issue of DTB (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/63/9), David Phizackerley (DTB Editor) is joined by Syba Sunny (DTB Clinical Editor). David and Syba discuss the editorial that highlights changes to antibiotic susceptibility reports, and in particular, the change to the 'I' classification from 'intermediate' to 'susceptible, increased exposure’ (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/63/9/130). They talk about a DTB Select article that summarises an evidence review of deprescribing interventions in primary care and the importance of collaborative multidisciplinary teams, education and training, and shared-decision making (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/63/9/131). They finish by discussing the main article that provides an overview of pharmacological management of chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and the four main groups of drugs that form the four pillars of treatment (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/63/9/133).
