We're exited to announce the launch of Peterloo's Daily Dose, a brand-new podcast created by the team at Peterloo Medical Centre.

As healthcare continues to evolve, we are always looking for new ways to connect with our patients, share trusted health information, and help our community stay informed. Peterloo's Daily Dose is designed to do exactly that. Bringing healthcare conversations directly to you in an easy to listen to format.

What is Peterloo's Daily Dose?

Peterloo's Daily Dose is a podcast hosted by members of our practice team, featuring conversations with GPs, Nurses, Care Coordinators, Healthcare Professionals, Patients and Guest speakers.

Each episode explores topics that matter to our patients and community, including:

• Preventative healthcare and healthy living
• Long-term conditions such as Diabetes, Heart Disease and Asthma
• Cancer awareness and screening programmes
• Mental Health and Wellbeing
• Womens and Men's health
• Childhood health and vaccinations
• Local healthcare services and support available in Middleton
• Behind the scenes insights into general practice

Our aim is to make healthcare information more accessible, understandable, and engaging for everyone.

Our First Episodes

In Episode 1 - Dr Mo Jiva and Nurse Emma discuss cholesterol, cardiovascular risk, QRISK3, and our new Health MOT service, helping patients understand how small lifestyle changes can have a significant impact on long-term health.

Episode 2 features a powerful conversation with Sarah, who shares her personal experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer following her very first mammogram shortly before her 50th birthday. Sarah's story highlights the life-changing importance of attending routine screening appointments and the difference that early diagnosis can make.

Why are we doing this?

General Practice is about more than appointments and prescriptions. It is about supporting people to live healthier lives, empoweing patients with knowledge, and building stronger connections within our community.

By launching Peterloo's Daily Dose, we hope to:

• Improve health education and awareness
• Encourage preventative healthcare
• Showcase the fantastic work happening within primary care
• Share real patient stories and experiences
• Help patients make informed decisions about their health

Most importantly, we want to create conversations that matter.
