Boggled Docs is the new podcast for GP’s and other primary care professionals that takes the pulse of the nation by looking to the medical media and uses that information as a springboard to help you target your CPD.
In each episode we’ll look at the general picture of what’s going on in the newspaper health pages, daytime TV, online and even radio if it’s relevant. Nothing’s off limits and some of the big TV dramas will get a look in too. We’ll also take some time to chat to a fellow medical colleague about a featured programme in more detail.

Jill, Ritchie, Colin, Roscoe, Ash and Gregory had such an impact on everyone who watched, that we couldn't just cover the first 2 epsiodes. This week Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan and Dr Rex Melville are back to talk about the final 3 episodes of 'It's A Sin'.
We've had several messages from people sharing their experiences of what it was like caring for patients with HIV and AIDS back in the 80s and 90s- we've put them together into a montage for you to hear- it's a very powerful listen.
As always we have some recent medical news headlines and the week in daytime TV.
