Join us for a relaxed round up of this month’s Red Whale primary care Pearls of wisdom. This month, Nik and Caroline discuss:

• Intrauterine systems, and how they just got a bit simpler…
• Diabetes and frailty:  how we need all our primary care superpowers across the whole multi-professional team to think about the big picture!
• Joining with Up: The Adult Cerebral Palsy Movement to help us increase our confidence in supporting adults with cerebral palsy.
• Antidepressants: help or harm? What we can learn from the BBC Panorama documentary.

And hear a clinical room calamity from one listener involving a fabulous skirt and a sample pot!
