New NovPod episodes out now!! 50 yrs after the “rumble in the jungle” there’s a title fight between Eoin and Rahul on obs anaes drugs. Unmissable! And see if you agree with me on labour analgesia in episode 8. It’ll change your views on pain relief (and cheeseboards!) forever!
Two new NovPods! Episode 8 @damien_hug261 talks us through pain management in labour. Episode 9 Who knows most about obstetric anaesthetic drugs? @DoreEoin & Dr Rahul Bandopadhyay go head to head. 🎧 https://t.co/xYQ2W9b2xj
