NB Medical Hot Topics

NB Medical Hot Topics We run one day courses throughout the UK and Ireland where we update GPs with all the recent papers and guidelines.

By GPs for GPs, our mission is to help busy GPs with the difficult task of keeping up with all the new developments, papers and guidelines that are relevant to our daily work. We take the time busy GPs do not have to trawl through the literature, distil it and give GPs the essential information they really need to help their patients. The courses are designed to be fun and engaging, and delegates

leave with lots of ideas to take back to the practice and to help them help their patients and to help with appraisal and revalidation. Delegates receive a detailed book (now also with on-line access) which summarises all the material and is an invaluable consulting room reference!

BLOG: (Even) more evidence for statins safety

Working in primary care, we all prescribe a lot of statins. I'm sure we also meet lots of patients who are concerned about possible side effects from statins, including some people who don’t want to take a statin at all for this reason.

Statin drug labels list over 60 different possible adverse effects linked to statins, but which of these are actually caused by the medication?

A study recently published in The Lancet set out to answer this question by reviewing results from 19 different randomised controlled trials of over 124,000 people.

Read Dr Nick Jones' latest blog to learn more about their findings and what they mean for those oh-so-common statin prescriptions.

With skin concerns making up a significant part of general practice consultations, and many dermatology conditions being managed entirely in primary care, keeping knowledge up to date has never been more important.

For patients who do need a referral, waiting times are getting longer, making confident assessment and management in primary care even more valuable.

Join our webinar on 20th June to refresh your dermatology knowledge, strengthen your diagnostic skills, and build confidence in managing common skin conditions seen in general practice.

FREE Hot Topics Clinic: Genomics in Primary Care 💥
📅 Tuesday 9th June (8-9pm)

Genomic medicine is no longer a remote and specialist concept; it is rapidly moving into everyday NHS practice. With genomics given a central role in the NHS 10 Year Plan and the ambition to transform healthcare through earlier diagnosis, prevention, and personalised treatment, primary care will be at the heart of this shift. But what does this actually mean for busy GPs now? In this practical, case-based webinar, Simon Curtis will be joined by Iain Turnbull (GP and Clinical Research Fellow at the University of Oxford) to explore what genomics means in real-world general practice.

We’ll focus on common high-impact conditions such as haemochromatosis and Lynch syndrome, alongside emerging areas including polygenic risk scores and the growing challenge of patients presenting with private genetic test results. Genomics can feel uncertain and complex, and for many GPs it represents a clear educational need. This session will cut through the complexity, clarify what you need to know today and provide a pragmatic framework for safe, confident practice in this exciting and evolving era of genomic medicine.

1️⃣ Which antibiotic is actually best for managing uncomplicated UTI - is UK guidance offering the best choice to women?
2️⃣ Are you using the Kidney Failure Risk Equation in your patients with CKD? New research on how your risk of death may be much more important than your risk of end-stage renal disease.
3️⃣ Does empathy work in telephone consultations, and can it improve important hard outcomes such as symptom control?

BLOG: Not to be sniffed at: nasal decongestants

One of the joys of medicine is the continual expansion of science’s understanding of the human body and the ills which may affect it... leading to lifelong learning for the practising clinician. This is often followed by crushing disappointment, as our new knowledge triggers flashbacks to patients who clearly had this problem, we just didn’t realise it at the time!

Which brings us to Alan and his blocked nose. He may have rhinitis medicamentosa, a condition you may not have heard of. In our latest NB Blog, Dr Neal Tucker looks at what clinicians need to know about this condition and the latest safety recommendations on over-the-counter nasal decongestants. But is this the answer to Alan’s problem?
