Doctor's appointments can be stressful. You will likely have between ten or fifteen minutes to discuss your problem(s) and potential solutions. That's a lot less time than you think! Bex and Tano discuss strategies for maximising your experience with the GP and provide tips to help you get the most out of your visit to the surgery.
Our medical section is a summer special! But instead of beaches and pools, Tano and Bex have chosen to focus on less enjoyable aspects of the season, namely hay fever and insect bites!

Who Might I See And Why? Introducing The General Practice Team
How To Hack The NHS
06/10/24 • 38 min
Everyone is familiar with GPs and general practice nurses - but who are all the new faces in primary care? And what do they bring to the table?
We introduce some of these newer roles - nurse associates, first contact physios, physician associates, emergency care practitioners, and many more - and explain what they do and why you might find yourself sat in a consulting room with them instead of a GP or nurse.
In our medical section, Tano and Bex discuss the challenges of weight management and outline what to expect from a consultation concerning your weight.

How To Hack The NHS

It’s the number one question we get asked in general practice:
Why can’t I see my GP?
This is a huge topic and one we’ll be returning to throughout the series. In this episode, we’ll be laying the foundations to help you understand why primary care is struggling and how you can navigate the system.
In our clinical segment, Dr Tano Rebora discusses erectile problems and explains why this common men’s health issue is really worth getting an appointment with your doctor about.

What Is Your GP Actually Doing?
How To Hack The NHS
05/07/24 • 42 min
A quiet waiting room does not mean your GP is putting their feet up and enjoying an easy day. Face-to-face appointments with patients may be our bread and butter, but they are only the tip of a growing workload iceberg.
In this episode, we explore what goes on behind the scenes in general practice and explain why there's a lot more to the GP's role than seeing patients, as important as that is.
In our clinical segment, Dr Tano Rebora digs deep into one of our most commonly encountered problems: diarrhoea. How can you improve your symptoms? What will a GP consultation entail? When should you worry? Tano answers all these questions and more.

Five Minute Check-Up: GP Receptionists
How To Hack The NHS
08/21/24 • 6 min
A recent online commenter referred to GP receptionists as "the punching bags" of the practice? Ours have been called even worse. But from our perspective, reception is the heart of the practice team and our skilled receptionists are valued team members. So why are they so unfairly maligned?
In our latest short bonus episodes, Tano and Bex discuss this absolutely vital role and condemn the unfair abuse they so often receive.
