Ep111. The GLP-1 Revolution: What it Means for Anaesthesia with Dr Doug Hacking

In this episode:

• The last of my thought bubble talks on how to introduce yourself with confidence and clarity
• Some tips on balancing an academic research career and clinical medicine
• Changing from one medical specialty (e.g. paediatrics) to another (e.g anaesthesia)

I'm chatting with Dr Doug Hacking, paediatrician, anaesthetist, researcher. We are discussing GLP-1 receptor agonists and what they mean for anaesthesia. This is based on his editorial in the September 2025 edition of the scientific journal, Anaesthesia and Intensive Care.
