The UK general practice has reached crisis point. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has placed a strain on an already crumbling primary care service, leaving both patients and NHS staff struggling. Seventy-six years after the NHS was created, Dr Ellen Welch and Dr Nighat Arif lift the curtain on general practice, both reflecting on the history of the profession and how it's changed, and looking ahead to what general practice might look like. With accounts from GPs across the country, those on the frontline try to answer the question: how did we get here? Is it better overseas? And what can be done to make things better for us all in the future?

'Tiktok Doc' and resident doctor on BBC Breakfast and ITV's This Morning, Dr. Nighat Arif joins Michelle and Liz to share crucial knowledge about female heart health. As the #1 killer of women, cardiac disease deserves our attention. Dr. Arif breaks down the subtle symptoms women often miss. She urges us to speak up, advocate for ourselves, and not downplay discomfort. Dr. Arif also discusses how menopause changes heart risk and the preventative power of HRT. Her passion for equitable healthcare shines through - she's on a mission to save women's lives. Beyond the vital medical intel, Dr. Arif inspires us to protect our hearts, value our health, and gift our daughters with knowledge. Don't miss this lively, eye-opening chat!KEY TAKEAWAYS Women have different, subtler heart attack symptoms than men - know them. Heart risk increases after menopause - consider HRT for prevention. Speak up about pain/discomfort - don't downplay it. Advocate for yourself - you know your body best. Asprin is often considered the first option for heart-condition prevention but ensure you look at your own personal health and work with your Dr to see if it is right for you Family history can indicate if you are someone who is likely to develop a heart condition. Giving up alcohol and looking after your physical fitness are two simple ways you can effectively reduce your risk of a heart attack. BEST MOMENTS "Women have an exceptional, I'll call it a spidey sense that, that we have an intuition and I think for so long that is, We suppress that." "Welcome to a woman's world who's constantly being told by governments what she can and can't do." "My grandmother went through this, my mother went through this. I'm going through it and I'll be damned if my daughter goes through this."

What health and wellbeing practises should women consider building into their lives when they hit their 40s? What is happening to your body at that age and why – and what does it mean for things like exercise, diet, sex, teeth, skin, hair, nails, gut health, and so on? Kate Lawler and Dr Nighat Arif will join Vogue to discuss how women can best look after their physical and mental health in their 40s and beyond.RESOURCESBoots Women's Health Hub: www.boots.com/healthhub/womens-healthBoots Blood Pressure Service: www.boots.com/nhs-services/blood-pressure-serviceBoots Physio: www.boots.com/healthhub/managing-pain/physiotherapyBoots Menopause Centre: www.boots.com/healthhub/womens-health/menopause-support/my-menopause-centreSupport Room Therapy: www.boots.com/healthhub/mens-health/mental-health-support/support-roomPRODUCTSBoots skincare: www.boots.com/future-renewBoots nail care: www.boots.com/boots-beauty-formula-skin-hair-nails-90-tablets-10319613Boots vaginal dryness prescription: onlinedoctor.boots.com/vaginal-dryness Hosted on Acast.

“What happens when you don't have the words to describe the symptoms?” In the last installment of the ‘Doing Equity' session, Dr. Nighat Arif, the resident doctor of BBC and ITV presents an uplifting talk that reiterates the importance of raising awareness and in normalizing discussions of female health within the Black and Asian communities in the UK. From menstruation to menopause as well as breast cancer – she states that there are still a lot of stigmas and shame attached to talking about these health concerns. Which is made even more complicated with the language boundaries as well as the unavailability of words in the different ethnic languages. “Why is that women who look like me and sound like me are not being listened to?” When she gets together with women from these communities, such as at a mosque, she often hears stories about how doctors assume that menopausal symptoms don't apply to them. Specifically, the mental symptoms of menopause – such as brain fogs, being forgetful, etc.- are often ignored and the women are given antidepressants instead. So how does one address this gap of knowledge in female health that exists not only in the Asian and black communities in the UK, but also in other cultures in the world? What steps can one take to normalize this important discussion in inclusive ways? One of Dr. Nighat Arif's creative answers to this is through her use of TikTok alongside the use of memes and gifs to reach out, educate, and engage in not just English, but also Urdu and Punjabi.

The indie band Wet Leg went straight to number 1 last week with their debut album. Their songs are witty: all about love, sex, parties and breakups. We speak to one of the band members, Rhian Teasdale. When it comes to losing weight why is the word “diet” used less and less these days? The diet industry is worth billions, but lots of people think the word itself is unhelpful. We talk to Dr Saira Hameed, an NHS Consultant who specialises in obesity medicine at Imperial College London. She's also the author of The Full Diet. And we also have Rhiannon Lambert, who's a Nutritionist. Can boxing transform lives? The actor Idris Elba thinks it might and he's got a series called Fight School which is currently on BBC 2. He's recruited a group of eight young men and women, giving them an intensive boxing course with the aim of improving confidence and resilience. There's another goal which is to compete in an amateur fight. Chanika is one of the young women taking part, and Rachel Bower is one of the boxing coaches on the show. Rachel is also a former National Boxing champion and a Metropolitan police sergeant. They come into the Woman's Hour studio to speak to Anita. When it comes to getting HRT, MPs have been accused, once more, of betraying millions of menopausal women by failing to improve access to it as they promised. In October ministers announced a 'menopause revolution' but the plan to cut the cost of HRT doesn't come about until next April and now tens of thousands of women are suffering because of a nationwide shortage. But what's the impact of not having your gel or patch? Anita is joined by Dr Nighat Arif, a GP, plus author and documentary maker Kate Muir.

Kim Chakanetsa talks to two women on a mission to demystify the menopause. Dr Nighat Arif is a British Pakistani family doctor specialising in women's health. She is passionate about making the menopause a less taboo subject for all, but particularly for women for whom English is not their first language, and she often uses her social media channels to raise awareness. Barbara Hannah Grufferman is an American writer whose work focuses on healthy aging. After struggling with her symptoms during menopause she decided to become a marathon runner. Her most recent book is Love Your Age and her newsletter is Menopause Cheat Sheet.

Anna delves into Channel 4’s urgent new documentary Sex, Myths and the Menopause with director Linda Sands and producer Kate Muir. Presented by Davina McCall, this show dispels the taboo surrounding menopause and demands that we start to have open conversations on the subject. Kate shares the personal experiences that compelled her to write a book and produce the film. Linda describes working with Davina and how she set the tone for the doc. They then explore the limited – and often terrible – representations of menopause in the movies. Next, Anna is joined by GP and women’s health expert Dr Nighat Arif to discuss the mental and physical wellbeing of women before, during and after menopause. Dr Nighat discusses the part she played in the Channel 4 doc and explains the importance of recognising the intersectionality of menopause – it is not just a ‘white woman problem’.
