Great article on the over-prescribing of medicines. Key points;
- prescribed medication is the third most common cause of death
- chronic conditions are largely preventable
- system encourages prescribing over support for lifestyle change

What has happened to the BNF? Does size matter?!
The Aural Apothecary, alongside alumni @ProfMarkTaubert in the Christmas @bmj_latest discuss how and why it grown in size, weight and width over the years.
Enjoy - and Merry Christmas to our listeners!

We’ve been lucky to welcome some incredible guests this series — and, as always, we asked them to share a medicine that carries a powerful memory or stirs a deep emotion.
The stories behind these choices are moving, funny, and always a privilege to hear.
Series 8 out soon!

Ten years ago, Terry took a walk with Death.
We can only imagine what words Terry would have for the state of the world today, but to help us in that we can always head to our shelves and open a book, and for that we are so very fortunate.
Thank you, Terry.

Happy #Internationalwomensday! We were told early on we were ‘a bit blokey’ and so we’ve always strived to do our bit to highlight inequality.
A huge thank you to all of the inspirational women we’ve had as guests and those who have helped us on our podcast journey

Very odd end to this article where they spew a few seemingly random facts about paracetamol and aspirin that don’t really relate to the story and even randomly throw in a bit of ibuprofen!
