018 NMIC Therapeutics Today June 2018

Aug 23, 2018

In today’s show we’re discussing the contents of the June 2018 edition of the Therapeutics Today monthly newsletter produced by The National Medicines Information Centre (NMIC) based in St James Hospital Dublin. I’m joined once more by Mary Teeling and MaryJo McAvin, Medical Advisors with NMIC.

We’ll cover updates on the efficacy of emollient baths in eczema, barriers to compliance with statins, and comparison of DOACs and warfarin in frail patients.

You can receive the newsletter online at nmic.ie, or by post, by sending your details to nmic@stjames.ie.

This podcast aims to serve as an companion piece to the Therapeutics Today newsletter, and we hope you find it of value. Please email any feedback and suggestions to themedicsmic@gmail.com

As usual, hotlinks to resources and further reading can be found in the show notes, which you can access by tapping or swiping on the show icon on your smart device.

Please spread the word to colleagues, subscribe via your podcast player, and leave a rating or written review in iTunes or Apple podcasts – it really helps!
