Https://www.dragonbytespodcast.com Twitter: @dragon_bytes Home of DragonBytes paediatric podcast. A medical education podcast from Wales. The podcasts are made by paediatricians for anyone interested in Child Health. Created by Dr Stacey Harris and Dr Assim Javaid. ​ Our podcasts cover a range of themes, with a focus on a different topic every episode. We aim to release a new podcast every Monday with a focus on the following key areas: Basic paediatric revision – Focusing on helping you with tough revision topics (e.g. metabolic conditions, renal medicine, etc) and with giving advice for MRCPCH exams Reflection discussions – Welsh trainees will be regularly submitting their personal reflections to us and a panel of consultants, senior trainees and allied healthcare workers will discuss issues raised by the reflections and advise from their personal experience CoffeePods – Discussions with different people working in paediatrics or involved in child health; Grid trainees, charities, public health campaigners, the list is endless! ​ Listeners are encouraged to send us suggestions for future topics they’d like teaching on. The week before a new revision podcast is to come out, we’ll ask you all what you’d like us to release from our collection!
