Wellbeing – how one junior doctor found a way to support frontline staff
How can we help frontline clinicians? Sometimes medics may feel uneasy or even guilty and that they could be doing more. That was what a junior doctor in Abergavenny in Wales felt and she did something about it.

Talk Evidence covid-19 update - Remdesivir, care homes, and death data
For the next few months Talk Evidence is going to focus on the new corona virus pandemic.
There is an enormous amount of uncertainty about the disease, what the symptoms are, fatality rate, treatment options, things we shouldn't be doing.
We're going to try to get away from the headlines and talk about what we need to know - to hopefully give you some insight into these issues.
This week:
(3.14) Jeff Aronson from Oxford University explains why remdesivir is a potential therapeutic, but is pessimistic about the quality of the studies being done on it
(13.22) Carl explains why smoking cessation is still a key public he...

Cycling - Does the health benefit outweigh the accident risk (in the UK)
We all know we should be doing more exercise, and one way to do that is by active commuting - journeying to work on foot or by bike.
One thing preventing people from taking up cycling is the fear of being involved in road traffic accidents, and that the risk isn't worth the benefit of the extra exercise. It’s even more confusing when air pollution has to be taken into account.
Joining us to discuss new research into that ris k/benefit calculation are
Paul Welsh, a Senior Lecturer, and Carlos Celis, a research fellow, both Institute of Cardiovascular& Medical Sciences at the University of Glasgow.

Talk Evidence - Building an evidence base for covid-19
We're taking a break from the usual Talk Evidence to focus on the new corona virus that has emerged in China.
With a brand new disease, we have to build our evidence base from scratch - basic virology, epidemiology, pathogenicity, transmissibility, and ultimately treatment are all unknowns.
In this episode of Talk Evidence, we're trying to get away from the headlines and talk about what we need to know - to hopefully give you some insight into these issues.
(8.00) Peter Openshaw, professor of experimental medicine at Imperial College London, talks to us about the pathogenicity of covid-19
