The FCP Podcast

Richard Tennant

Information and learning podcast for first contact practitioners in primary care.  During the podcast episodes Emma and Richard will be discussing first contact cases commonly seen in General Practice with experienced clinicians with a background in a certain clinical area.  The cases will review the approach to history taking, red flags and the appropriate investigations.  The cases will be based around the FCP - Paramedics roadmap core clinical competencies, to unsure appropriate knowledge .

These podcast's should serve as a supplement to your learning as a first contact practitioner. You will require further learning, support and self directed study to develop into a qualified FCP. 

These podcasts are for health care professionals only and should not be used for medical advice by members of the public.  The content is based on the interviewees opinion and interpretation of best clinical practice at the time of the recording.  These podcasts should support your learning and should not replace your clinical judgement or local guidelines.  

Special thanks to Scott Edwards for audio and Martin Berrisford for editing.
