Instead of giving up an evening with your family to watch live, or spending a weekend at a training day, you listen to the recordings here at 1.5 times the speed and while you're commuting, exercising, or doing chores around the house. It's the same education, in a fraction of the time and without the sacrifice. New episodes are delivered twice per week, so you'll always have something interesting to listen to.

Therefore, it is incredibly important to get it right in the first place. In this engaging podcast aimed at GPs, our multidisciplinary experts discuss: Why can it be challenging to get the pathology right? What clinical information is important to include on the pathology request form? How is the pathology report structured? How is the specimen processed? What biopsy is key to maximising the diagnostic and prognostic interpretation of the pathology? Are partial biopsies ever appropriate? What implications does the type of biopsy have for subsequent surgery? When does a GP need to refer their patient? The discussion is concluded with two case studies to summarise key learnings. This podcast is suitable for GPs, Dermatologists, Surgeons, Oncologists, Pathologists and other healthcare professionals.
