This week, Hampshire GP Dr Fiona Ritchie joins Nik for a festive episode to find out what CPD they can get out of 'The Muppet Christmas Carol'. It turns out rather a lot! Their conversation covers loneliness, child bereavement and even Lewy body dementia.
There's also the usual look at the medical news headlines and the week in daytime TV .
