Medicine and Science from The BMJ episodes:

April 21, 2017 The evidence manifesto - better trials, better use of trial data
We're creating a manifesto for better evidence. The centre for Evidence Based Medicine at the University of Oxford, and the BMJ, are asking what are the problem with medical evidence, and how can we fix them?
In this second discussion we went to Nottingham University, to find out what the people who create the bread and butter of EBM - randomised control trials - think about the issues with evidence synthesis, and how the information they create is being used in practice.

Thankfully, electrical injuries are relatively uncommon - but that means that lack of evidence regarding the management of patients who have been electrocuted, which can cause concern for clinicians when these patients present.

April 12, 2017 ”We’re kicking the can down the road” - how to get agreement on the future of the NHS
Our latest debate asks whether there should be a Royal Commission (a high level enquiry, with statutory powers) into the future of the NHS.
A high level inquiry could detoxify the radical changes needed and command wide support, say Maurice Saatchi, conservative peer, and Paul Buchanan, The BMJ's patient editor; but Nigel Crisp, independent peer, thinks that a less formal, more flexible and collaborative approach could be quicker.

March 31, 2017 What is high integrity healthcare?
This week, a new series starts in The BMJ - the aim is to rethink how hospitals, clinics, community services and public health work - with the aim of stopping the perverse blocks and incentives that prevent doctors, and other healthcare professionals, from providing the care that patients want and need.
Talking to Navjoyt Ladher, are Albert Mulley - professor of medicine at the Dartmouth Institute, and Jane Druce, an evaluations manger, and Donal Collins, a GP - both of whom work in an NHS Vanguard area, where new ways of delivering care are being tested.

March 31, 2017 ”Watching the world through a clear fog” - recognising depersonalisation and derealisation
Transient symptoms of depersonalisation and derealisation - feeling detached from the world, and feeling as if you are watching events at a remove - are common. However for some, persistent symptoms can make the disorder extremely distressing.
In this podcast, Kate Adlington is joined by Elaine Hunter, consultant clinical psychologist, Anthony David, professor of cognitive neuropsychiatry, and by Jane Charlton and Fiona Godlee - who have both experienced depersonalisation/derealisation over a number of years.

March 29, 2017 American healthcare - what next?
For seven years, Republicans have vowed to repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare), and that promise took a central place in President Trump's campaign. The first major vote to replace it was due to happen last week, but was cancelled at the 11th hour.
In advance of the potential vote, The BMJ published a debate asking "Should US doctors mourn for Obamacare?". Now we're asking the authors of that debate, what next?
Joining Peter Doshi are Adam Gaffney, from Harvard Medical School and Saurabh Jha from the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
