Medicine and Science from The BMJ episodes:

May 07, 2021 Roopa Dhatt - Getting woman into leadership positions in healthcare
This interview is part of our BMJ interview series, where we talk to the people who are changing medicine. The series thus far has been a bit male dominated - reflecting the leadership in medicine at the moment, if not the actual workforce.
One woman who's planning to change that is Roopa Dhatt, executive director of Woman in Global Health - a new grassroots organistion which is making waves with its demand for equality of representation for woman in global health decision making.
In this interview, we talk to Dr Dhatt about the genesis of Woman in Global Health, and how they've managed to cement real commitment from the WHO. We also discuss how her experience of being Indian and American has shaped her understanding of equality in medicine, and how the covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the way in which women are discounted.

April 29, 2021 Wellbeing - Humanising medicine
In medicine, a lot of work has been done to encourage person centred care - but can that maxim be extended to the people working within the healthcare system?
Subodh Dave has just been elected as dean of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, and joins us fresh from talking at the International conference on physician health to speak about his ambition to humanise medicine.
In this podcast, Subodh, Abi and Cat discuss what lessons from the pandemic need to remain, why at this time it's really important to look out for your colleague with family overseas, and how ice cream trucks meant much more than a cold treat.

April 22, 2021 Wellbeing - After shielding
On this wellbeing podcast, Abi and Cat are joined by Emma Lishman, a clinical psychologist and part of the North Bristol NHS Trust's staff wellbeing team.Emma helps doctors return to training after a break - be that for maternity leave, or covid-19.
Emma describes some of the fears that doctors who have been shielding have expressed coming back onto the ward, the ways in which teams may inadvertently make those worse, and the problems with complying with risk assessments in the face of staffing pressures.
Wellbeing podcasts have focused a lot on the importance of openness about mental health in the NHS, but in this podcast, you'll also hear how reluctant clinicians are to discuss physical health problems - and why the taboo around all aspects of illhealth needs to be tackled.

April 14, 2021 Coronavirus second wave - headaches abound

April 10, 2021 Measure the broader impacts of healthcare
The synergistic linking of increasing health and wealth is broadly accepted - it's an integral part of the thinking between the Sustainable Development Goals, and the World Bank's call for universal healthcare as a way of boosting a country's economy.
But the quantification of that link - the extent to which a particular health intervention, has broader economic impacts, is actually pretty poorly understood.
In this podcast, we hear from some economists, who have an idea about how we could - fairly easily - measure those impacts at the same time we measure clinical efficacy.
Joining us are, Dean Jamison, professor emeritus of global health at the University of Washington
Osondu Ogbuoji, assistant research professor at Duke Global Health Insitute.
Till Bärnighausen, director of the Heidelberg Institute of Global Health
Sebastian Vollmer, professor of development economics at the University of Göttingen

In this Wellbeing podcast, sponsored by medical protection, Abi Rimmer and Cat Chatfield talk to Susanna Petche and Reina Popat, GPs and members of First You - an organisation of healthcare workers, promoting wellbeing in the NHS.

March 12, 2021 Talk Evidence - Inside the JCVI, and the key to grading evidence
In a slightly different talk evidence, Helen Macdonald and Duncan Jarvies are bringing you a couple, of in depth interviews,
Firstly, Anthony Harnden, GP, academic and member of the UK's Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation takes us inside their decision making, and explains what evidence they look at, how they assess it, and what the next year of vaccination may look like.
Also in this episode, Gordon Guyatt, one of the founders of EBM, joins us to talk about Grade - the framework in which evidence for guidelines can be assessed - and explains why the most important thing is not the RCTs, but being very clear about what the guideline is supposed to achieve.
