January 21, 2022 S2 E12: Final Episode and TeamUP
This is our wrap up episode - or rather our TeamUP episode. We have decided, in the spirit of resilience, sustainability, and doing good work, to merge our two podcasts over at TeamUP - the content was going to be so similar this season that it made sense to take this opportunity
This season of TeamUP focus on practical tools in primary care to support the adaptive capacity of the system.
Please check out TeamUP at www.teamuppod.com and subscribe or follow in your favourite podcast app.
Perhaps it is better to TeamUP than to just pod-fade away...
Thanks for listening,
Sarah and Morgan

August 31, 2021 S2 E11: immPACC: Helping communities reduce structural barriers to immunizations
In this episode we talk with our own Amanda Frazer about our own immPACC Mapping Project (immunization-Primary And Community Care Mapping).

If you want to see a short overview video that also give a visual of what the maps look like, we have a 5 min video on YouTube:

May 07, 2021 S2 E8 - Coping in Month 15 - Languishing
After a quick chat about current COVID state of affairs (and Star Wars day), we talk about "languishing" - a new term but one that we think fits really well and that we will hear more often. Then we dive into a few ideas we have on how we can help ourselves and our patients address feelings of languishing. Hopefully these are useful for you as well.

April 26, 2021 S2 E7 - Keep on Keeping on (UPDATED MAY 12th)
EPISODE UPDATE ALERT: SCIENCE CHANGE
In this episode from April, we talked about encouraging people to keep on with the public health orders and the concerns and risks of the AstraZeneca vaccine and how to compare that to lightning strikes.
Since we published this, our understanding of the clot risks has changed, with the risk of clot increasing to around 1:100,000. When we recorded this episode the science suggested the risk was 1:250,000. We wanted to update that this material and the comparisons to things like risk of lightning strikes is now out of date.
