More radio based education!

A long drive made much more pleasant on Friday by a sleeping child and good radio!

Woman's Hour was excellent with 2 GP relevant items. Domestic violence, which I wasn't expecting alot from, bit Learnt about Seachange, a charity that works with perpetrators and victims of DV and learnt about early warning signs for women to suspect they might be at risk in future- checking phone and emails apparently.

Then a wonderful item about Dr Russell a GP in Manchester who is finally hanging up her stethoscope aged 80! She was great, no politics or moans, just a vivid description of how in the 50+ years she had practiced medicine things have changed. An inspirational lady. The disappearance of measles and polio, using a home telephone instead of having to find a phone box. 2 things that struck me.
