Grab your trainers, your dog lead, or a cuppa and join us for some free CPD as we have another relaxed round up of recent Red Whale primary care Pearls of wisdom.  In the first of two episodes this month, Ali and Nik discuss: 

• Glue ear: should we refer as soon as we suspect?
• Contraception after a diagnosis of breast cancer: supporting choice.
• Physical health and severe mental illness: can we reduce significant health inequalities?

Listen as soon as you can to ensure you have full access to all the free resources. 

The rest of the Pearls from May will be covered next week along with a new best intentions story to put a smile on your face.
