Description
Medical Evidence Matters with Liz Tucker (formerly known as What Your GP Doesn't Tell You) was a finalist in the recent 2024 Independent Podcast Awards. This fortnightly podcast reveals the stories from the world of medicine that others don’t, won’t or only very partially report. Aimed at both doctors and the public, it’s hosted by award winning medical journalist and former BBC producer Liz Tucker, who reports not just on the science but on the finance and money that can impact it. Liz asks what does the medical data actually tell us and why is this often interpreted and presented very differently? How do we know what information to trust and when should we ask our GP, but what’s the evidence?
