Additional therapies used with exercise therapy for hip or knee osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the commonest type of arthritis and there are Cochrane reviews for many interventions that might be used to treat it. These were added to in October 2022 with a new review of the effects of using adjunctive therapies along with land-based exercise therapy for osteoarthritis of the hip or knee. In this podcast, podcast editor Mike Clarke speaks with lead author Helen French from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, about the importance of the review and its findings.

From dance class to social prescription - starting and evaluating an idea
If you read the Christmas BMJ in the last few weeks, you might have noticed a lot around art and health - the way in which engagement in arts can help in prevention and treatment, but can also affect those more nebulous things which really matter to patients - loneliness, self expression, being connected to the wider community.
That obviously links to social prescribing, which looks like it’s going to be one of the big changes to medicine which will happen in near future.
In this podcast we hear from Simon Opher, a GP in gloucestershire who has had artists and poets in residence in his surgery, and has experience of s...

Sex in surgery
New research published on bmj.com has evaluated how well women surgeons operate, when compared to their male colleagues - and shows that there is a marginal improvement in patient outcomes.
To discuss how that was studied, and what the findings mean, we're joined by Chris Wallis, a resident at the University of Toronto, and Raj Satkunasivam, a urologic-surgeon and assistant professor at the Houston methodist hospital in Texas.
Also joining us, to contextualise that research, is Clare Marx - associate medical director of Ipswich Hospital NHS Ttrust, and former president of the Royal College of Surgeons.

Managing multimorbidity in primary care
Multimorbidity presents a number of different challenges, for the patients living with the conditions, but also for the health professionals caring for them in systems that often are not designed with these more complex needs in mind.
Emma Wallace, general practice lecturer, and Susan Smith, a professor of general practice at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland Medical School join us to discuss how to work within the system, and what their dream scenario for care would be.
