    With practical insights and real-world application, this episode is designed to build confidence in recognising and managing high-risk presentations safely and effectively in primary care.

    Richard is joined by ED Paramedic ACP Greg Markham to explore emergency presentations in general practice — and what really counts as an emergency in the primary care setting.

    Greg shares a structured approach to recognising and assessing the acutely unwell patient, including practical tools and resources that can support safe, confident decision-making under pressure.

    Through case-based discussion, they work through suspected sepsis and acute shortness of breath — covering clinical assessment, immediate management options within general practice, red flags, and when escalation is essential.

    A focused, clinically grounded episode designed to support frontline practitioners managing high-risk presentations in primary care.

    Enjoy the episode.

  • Renal function test interpretation with Dr Debasish Banerjee - Sodium 'Think about fluid volume'

    Renal function test interpretation with Dr Debasish Banerjee - Sodium 'Think about fluid volume'
    Mar 24 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Richard is joined by renal consultant Dr Debasish Banerjee for a practical deep dive into sodium disorders and what those blood test results really mean in clinical practice.

    In this episode, we break down the interpretation of sodium levels — from hyponatraemia to hypernatraemia — and move beyond the numbers to focus on real-world decision making. Through case-based discussion, we explore key elements of history taking, red flags you shouldn’t miss, and when sodium levels become genuinely concerning.

    We also cover appropriate further investigations, common pitfalls, and how to manage these patients safely in primary care — including when it’s time to escalate.

    A must-listen for clinicians who want to get sodium right… because getting it wrong can go south fast.


    As always thank you to Scott for your support
