Fighting an ongoing battle- how we can help our heroes?
This week our guest is Dr Veronica Grant , a Derbyshire GP and RCGP Veterans Champion. She joins Nik to talk about the BBC drama 'Danny Boy' and how actively serving in the military or being a veteran can impact on both our patients and their families. We also have the usual look at the medical news headlines and the week in daytime TV.Veronica’s song choice:https://open.spotify.com/track/6iYV7ZAkboSjtawXVB3SCl?si=X7OyTEDZSEilBQWoUF8-yAHeadlineshttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/going-to-bed-at-11pm-linked-to-a-healthy-heart-g0qdc5zsxDo we need to be asking our TATT patients if they are taking an oral iron supplement?https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/1519257/iron-deficiency-signs-pale-complexion-altered-taste-spoon-shaped-nailsMIND diethttps://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/health/eat-common-food-type-every-25416346https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/what-do-we-know-about-diet-and-prevention-alzheimers-diseasehttps://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/09/210921172721.htmThe man who has lived as a hermit for 40 years:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-59174870Danny BoyNICE GUIDELINEhttps://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng116BMJhttps://www.bmj.com/content/351/bmj.h6161DTB https://dtb.bmj.com/content/52/4/44.fullhttps://learning.bmj.com/learning/returnHighwirePDF.html?doi=10.1136/dtb.2014.4.0249Danny Boy BBC:https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000w21wMental health support for veterans, service leavers and reservists:https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/armed-forces-community/mental-health/veterans-reservists/Veteran friendly GP practices:To sign up to the veteran-friendly practice accreditation and access further training resources including webinars and podcasts click on the following link :rcgp.org.uk/veterans Song of the week:‘If I build a home on the moon’- Picture This Twitter: @BoggledDocs Instagram: @BoggledDocs #BDdose #BDRadarSend us a voice note: https://www.speakpipe.com/BoggledDocs Email: [email protected]:https://linktr.ee/BoggledDocs DISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
