GP, educator, creator, and all-around powerhouse, Dr Aziza Sesay makes medicine human, honest, and a little bit fun. From Talks With Dr Sesay to TED Talks (yes, there’s a toy vulva involved), she’s not afraid to tackle the conversations we often shy away from — the words we whisper, the health issues half the population experiences, and why speaking out loud can be revolutionary.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Helen Evans-Howells- allergy specialist, former GP, researcher, and mum of five, to talk about where medicine meets humanity, and what it really means to care in a world of allergies, ethics, and empathy.

I sat down with Dr. Matt Barrett, a doctor and educator who has turned medical education into its own kind of creative career through his platform, Study Smarter Medicine. I was fascinated hearing how his journey from medical student to innovator reshaped not only how he learns and teaches, but also how med ed itself can be a space to invent, experiment, and thrive.

We get into AI, learning frameworks, and the delicate art of balancing medical practice with personal growth. This episode is a candid and clever exploration of ambition, resilience, and the many unexpected directions medical education can take.

Oh, and don’t forget to check out his Never Forget series, it’s like the ultimate brain hack for med students, so go have a look before your next coffee break!
