  • Essential Tremor

    Essential Tremor
    Dec 3 2025

    Doctors Lisa and Sara speak to Consultant Neurologist Dr Antonella Macerollo about Essential Tremor (ET). We take a case and go through what ET is, how it might present, differentials and the differences between other conditions, how it might affect people and what management options there are.

    This is the first of two Episodes with Dr Antonella Macerollo, our next one is about Parkinson’s Disease. Thanks to Alison Day at Parkison’s UK for making the connection between ourselves and Antonella to make these episodes possible.

    Digital Developments in Primary Care
    Nov 5 2025
    Doctors Sara and Lisa speak to Dr Chris Nortcliff who is a GP and Chief Clinical Information Officer for Greater Manchester Primary Care Provider Board. The discussion is focussed around all things digital in primary care. We start with an overview of how the digital environment is set up within Greater Manchester. We then spend some time talking about digital inclusion - covering how to find people, how to help upskill them to be more digitally literate, and how to support better access to digital services. We also explore what is available in the digital space to help in primary care, and touch on AI and large language models.
