In this podcast accompanying the December issue of the DTB  (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/63/12), David Phizackerley (DTB Editor) is joined by Syba Sunny (Clinical Editor). David and Syba discuss this month’s editorial, written by Julian Treadwell, academic GP and DTB editorial board member, which delves into the challenges of prioritising preventative medicine in primary care (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/63/12/178). They then talk about a review article that provides an overview of the new drug elinzanetant, a non-hormonal treatment for vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/63/12/182). Finally, the journal bids an emotional farewell to David, who is retiring after many good years at the DTB.
