In the latest edition of our podcast, Paul Pennington talks to Richard Angell, CEO of the Terrence Higgins Trust, to unpack just how realistic the UK government’s pledge to end new HIV cases by 2030 really is. Paul also speaks to Claire Turner from Lobular Breast Cancer UK to explore why this form -15% of all breast cancers- is both under-researched and misunderstood by the public and GPs alike. In light of new data showing that 89% of dementia carers have hit crisis point, with far too little support available, Paul talks with Lorraine Haining from Dementia Carers Count. Despite impacting around 1 in 50 UK adults, bipolar disorder remains poorly grasped by society, Paul speaks with Simon Kitchen, CEO of Bipolar UK and in the final part of this edition, we have an extended interview with Professor Dawn Skelton from Later Life Training on how to avoid the frailty threshold.
