In the first Clinical Update episode of 2026, MIMS Learning editors Dawn Liz Powell and Rhiannon Ashman look at the goals of MIMS Learning’s new editorial campaign — Confidence in Obesity Care.
One of the goals of the campaign is to help GPs and other healthcare professionals better understand the role of GLP-1 medications (also known as weight loss medications) in the management of obesity, looking at which medications can be prescribed in primary care and which patients are eligible for them.
Another goal is to promote obesity management that encompasses the whole patient and not just their BMI.
Dawn and Rhiannon also look at some of the complications of obesity, including cardio-renal-metabolic (CVRM) disease and young-onset type 2 diabetes.

In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, MIMS Learning deputy editor Rhiannon looks back at a year of thought-provoking clinical education from the podcast.
The episode begins with a focus on cancer diagnosis, revisiting a conversation with NHS England’s Professor Peter Johnson on the success of the Lung Cancer Screening Programme. We also hear from pancreatic cancer specialist nurse Rachel Richardson about the potential for new tests to revolutionise early detection in primary care.
Dr Toni Hazell provides advice on one of the most talked-about clinical areas in 2025 – weight-loss medications – highlighting specific considerations for women using these drugs. Look out for more content on obesity as part of MIMS Learning’s 2026 editorial campaign.
Consultant nephrologist Dr Andrew Frankel outlines the ‘three actions in 3 months’ initiative — a structured approach to medicines optimisation in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Also, Dr Steve Brinksman discusses how best to identify alcohol use disorder, noting ‘we’re in the harm reduction business – anything we can do to stop people developing diseases, to stop people having to go to hospital; that's worthwhile.’
Finally, Dr Farnaaz Sharief shares practical resilience frameworks to help clinicians recharge at this busy time of year.

In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, recorded at MIMS Learning Live North in Liverpool in November 2025, MIMS Learning deputy editor Rhiannon interviews three expert speakers on hot topics in primary care.
Consultant ophthalmologist Miss Sajeevika Amarakoon offers practical tips on examining children and adults with eye problems. She outlines when eye problems can be managed in primary care, and lists the essential equipment GPs should have on hand, including fluorescein dye and mydriatic drops.
Dr Louise Warburton, a GP with an extended role in rheumatology and musculoskeletal medicine, discusses how to take a useful history in patients with back pain to identify serious pathologies. She highlights the importance of spotting osteoporotic fractures, while reminding primary care professionals that, for mechanical back pain, ‘movement is medicine’.
Finally, consultant psychiatrist Dr Helen Pears highlights the health inequalities faced by patients with severe mental illness, noting that their life expectancy is 15 to 20 years lower than the general population. She provides actionable advice for GPs on helping these patients access care and managing the risks of medication interactions.

Asthma and COPD may be the ‘bread and butter’ of the respiratory conditions seen in primary care, but other respiratory conditions, such as bronchiectasis, will also be seen.
In this episode of the MIMS Learning Clinical Update podcast, MIMS Learning editors Dawn and Pat survey the wide range of respiratory conditions seen in primary care that are not COPD or asthma. They look at the diagnosis of bronchiectasis, improvements in managing cystic fibrosis, the rising incidence of tuberculosis (TB), and how the NHS Lung Cancer Screening Programme is enabling earlier diagnosis.

Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer, with more than half of people dying within three months of diagnosis and 80% of people diagnosed at a late stage.
In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, part of MIMS Learning's ‘Patient, Presentation, Pathway for Cancer’ campaign, Rhiannon speaks to Rachel Richardson, a pancreatic cancer specialist nurse at Pancreatic Cancer UK.
During their discussion, they consider the common but often vague symptoms patients may experience, including abdominal/back pain, unexplained weight loss, and new-onset diabetes.
Rachel says: ‘Research does highlight that over 90% of pancreatic cancer patients will actually visit their GP with relevant symptoms in the 2 years before they're diagnosed. So really this represents such a crucial window of opportunity for earlier detection.’
The discussion also covers key risk factors, the important link between pancreatic cancer and type 3c diabetes, and new diagnostic tools in development – such as breath and blood tests – that could help GPs detect pancreatic cancer earlier.

Dementia is a major challenge for the NHS, with one in six people in their eighties developing the condition. For many people, fear and stigma surrounds the condition, so the GP's role as the first port of call is crucial.
In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, MIMS Learning’s Rhiannon and Sangeeta draw on the expertise of MIMS Learning’s professional clinical writers and speakers to discuss how primary care can approach the initial assessment process, key differentials such as delirium and depression, and important modifiable risk factors, including hearing loss.

‘Alcohol use disorder is very, very prevalent and the harm occurs long before people have physical dependence,’ Dr Steve Brinksman says in this episode of the MIMS Learning Clinical Update podcast.
He adds that if patients are concerned that they are drinking too much, they may hesitate to raise the issue with their GP because they might fear being told to stop drinking completely, and GPs may feel ‘uncomfortable’ about asking people how much they drink because alcohol misuse is ‘a common problem’ within the profession.
Dr Brinksman, who worked as a GP for 30 years, says that GPs should encourage colleagues to seek help if they feel they have problems, and can encourage many patients to cut down rather than cut out alcohol completely. ‘If you are drinking 50 or 60 units a week, then you reduce your harm by cutting down even to 40 units a week,’ he explains.
The episode also reviews how to assess alcohol misuse, how to advise patients to cut down, and how to support patients with severe dependence.

In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, guests from Future Dreams and Breast Cancer Now talk to MIMS Learning deputy editor Rhiannon Ashman. In the first section of this podcast, you'll learn about the varied presentations of breast cancer and how to sensitively approach consultations with breast cancer survivors. In the second section, the podcast focuses on signs and symptoms of secondary breast cancer, with insights into patient experience.
Part 1: 1.13 – 25.09: lead clinical nurse specialist Jackie Wright, and Amanda – who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 42 – consider how to encourage people to open up conversations with family about medical history, and discuss access to genetic testing.
They also offer tips on self-checking, and how to support patients. Speaking about the health anxiety many patients with a history of cancer feel, and the importance of compassion from primary care, Amanda says, ‘I just feel that that understanding is priceless’.
Part 2: 25.09 – 56.59: Catherine Priestley, senior clinical nurse specialist for secondary breast cancer, and Laura Price, author of the novel Single Bald Female, who is living with secondary breast cancer, discuss signs and symptoms of secondary (metastatic) breast cancer. They remind GPs that ‘low risk is not no risk’, and that secondary breast cancer can occur decades after the original diagnosis.
Laura draws on her experiences to provide some useful insights into how GPs can gather information on, and prioritise, often vague collections of symptoms, and on taking seriously patients’ concerns without being swayed if a patient ‘self-diagnoses something that's actually much less serious than the thing that it could be’.
