Podcast: Preventive medicine in general practice - with Dr Adrian Hayter from the RCGP

Talking General Practice speaks to Dr Adrian Hayter, the RCGP medical director of clinical policy and a GP in Windsor, about the college’s new clinical priority - preventive medicine.

 

In this conversation Adrian explains why the college has chosen to focus on prevention, some of the work it will be doing on this issue and the role general practice has to play in preventing ill health. 

He also talks about how addressing health inequalities feeds into this work, the resources the college hopes to produce to support GPs in practice and his previous role as NHS England’s national clinical director for older people and personalised care - and what this involved during the pandemic.

This episode was presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower. It was produced by Czarina Deen.
