The New England Journal of Medicine is promoting a short weekly podcast that distils health care news primarily for clinicians and healthcare professionals.
The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), one of the world’s oldest and most widely read medical journals, posted on social media this week to flag a new episode of its Medlines podcast. The show aims to cover the previous week’s health care news in roughly ten minutes.
The podcast is produced with Human Content and co-hosted by Dr Will Flanary — known online as @DGlaucomflecken — alongside a panel of fellow anchors. It’s available on all major podcast platforms.
Short-form health audio has grown as a format, with many NHS trusts and public health bodies also using podcasts to reach patients directly. The NEJM’s Medlines series is targeted at healthcare professionals, though its accessible format may appeal more broadly.
For Kent residents wanting reliable health information, the NHS website and NHS 111 remain the recommended first stop for questions about symptoms or local services. Call 111 for non-emergency health advice, or 999 in an emergency.
