Talk Evidence - real world vaccine data, GP records and CVD
In this month's Talk Evidence, Helen Macdonald and Joe Ross are back with a wry look at the world of Evidence Based Medicine.
They give us a round up of real world data emerging to address various uncertainties about vaccinations against covid
Helen has an update on NHS Digital’s project to extract GP coding for planning of healthcare and research, and talks to Natalie Banner from Understanding Patient Data, to find o ut what the public really cares about.
Finally, as routine care must go on a clinical review on cardiovascular disease in older adults introduces us to geroscience.
