Want to learn at your own pace and on your own schedule? Why not try an NB Medical pre-recorded course?
With a pre-recorded NB course, you can work your way through a course at your own leisure and at your own speed. We offer 3 and 6 hour courses, broken down into topics, available 24 hours a day to suit your own schedule.
Obesity, and particularly the new medications to manage it, are being talked about everywhere. As a GP, this can potentially feel like an area of medicine we haven’t been taught about at all and consultations can feel difficult. If we are soon to be asked to prescribe the medications, do you feel ready to do so? Probably not.

Books
The Hot Topics Course reference book accompanies the course but is also available to purchase separately
The book is fully referenced with recent summaries of the evidence commonly seen in primary care. Most of our delegates use this every day, like they use the BNF.
