Richard is joined by ED Paramedic ACP Greg Markham to explore emergency presentations in general practice — and what truly constitutes an emergency in the primary care setting.
Through case-based discussion, they work through presentations of syncope and angioedema, focusing on structured history-taking, clinical assessment, immediate management within general practice, and clear thresholds for hospital referral.
With practical insights and real-world application, this episode is designed to build confidence in recognising and managing high-risk presentations safely and effectively in primary care.
