Steths, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll

18: BMI, Boris' Obesity Plan & How to Beat the Heat

After Boris announced his new obesity plan, the doctors chew the fat about weight this week as they discuss the latest thinking behind BMI and whether it's still fit for purpose. They debate if it's ok to tell a patient, or even a friend, if they are overweight. With the numbers of people testing positive for Covid 19 on the rise, they look at whether Britain - or Sweden - has the best strategy to fight it. And as the heat is on, what's the best way to stay cool? Don't miss their top tips!

Health is at the forefront of everyone's minds right now. But how do you separate fact from fiction, what's the latest thinking from the brains in the medical world and what do the doctors working on the frontline really think?

Steths, drugs &amp; rock 'n' roll is a health podcast… but with a twist. This is a podcast with personality, heart and soul.

Dr. Ranj is an NHS Emergency Paediatrician, Dr. Sara and Dr. Zoe are NHS GPs and Dr. Tijion is a private cosmetic doctor who's stepping back in to the NHS to support his fellow medics in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

Each week they'll be giving their opinions on the latest news and headlines, as well as offering a few much needed laughs as they lift the lid on what happens when doctors go off duty!
