In today’s episode, we’ll look at the NICE updates published in January 2026, focusing on what is relevant in Primary Care only.And this time we have two updated guidelines relevant to us in General Practice: the guidelines on Suspected cancer and on Overweight and obesity management. The changes are minimal so today we have a very short episode.Right, let’s jump into it.And let’s start with the guideline on obesity and overweight management. The update is narrow and specific and clarifies that height-to-weight ratios should only be used to classify the degree of central adiposity in children and young people aged 5 years and over. Before this amendment, the guideline included height-to-weight ratios for children, but it did not explicitly state that these ratios should not be used in under 5s. This is because height-to-weight ratios in younger children, may not be validated or appropriate. In fact, in children under 5 years:· Body proportions change very rapidly as part of normal growth and development· There is wide normal variation in body shape and fat distribution and· Height to weight ratios do not accurately reflect central adiposity in this age group and therefore using these ratios risks overestimating or ...

The link is in the top right corner of the video and in the episode description.Hello and welcome, I’m Fernando, a GP in the UK. Today we are going to cover what to do when we encounter a high haematocrit, including initial assessment, follow up and management, always focusing on what is relevant in Primary Care only.I have based this episode on Haematological guidance by Camden CCG, Manchester Foundation Trust and King’s Health Partners. The links to them are in the episode description.Right, let’s jump into it.And we will start by saying that haematocrit measures the proportion of blood volume taken up by red blood cells. It can be expressed either as a percentage—from 0 to 100 or as a decimal proportion, from 0 to 1. Because it reflects the relative volumes of red cells and plasma, the haematocrit is influenced not only by the absolute number of red blood cells but also by the amount of circulating plasma. Any change in either component will affect the final value.A high haematocrit raises the possibility of polycythaemia. Polycythaemia can be diagnosed when the haematocrit is greater than 0.52 in men and greater than 0.48 in women. These thresholds help identify affected people, but they do not, by themselves, tell us the cause.Polycythaemia is sometimes referred to as erythrocytosis, but this is not entirely accurate. Erythrocytosis specifically refers to an increased number of red blood cells in the circulation. Polycythaemia, on the other hand, is defined by a raised haematocrit, not by a direct count of red blood cells. As a result, it is possible to have a high haematocrit without true erythrocytosis.This distinction matters because there are two types of ...

The link is in the top right corner of the video and in the episode description.Hello and welcome, I’m Fernando, a GP in the UK. Today we are going to cover what to do when we encounter thrombocytopenia on a full blood count, always focusing on what is relevant in Primary Care only. I have based this episode on Haematological guidance by Camden CCG, Manchester Foundation Trust and King’s Health Partners. The links to them are in the episode description. Right, let’s jump into it.Thrombocytopenia is the platelet count is low, which is defined as a platelet count below 150 × 10⁹ per litre.But before we assume a true low platelet count, we need to remember that thrombocytopenia can often be an artefact. This happens when platelets clump together in the EDTA sample tube, giving a falsely low automated count.So, the first step is always to confirm the result with a repeat full blood count and a blood film. The blood film not only rules out platelet clumping but can also provide important clues about the underlying cause.There are many potential causes of thrombocytopenia so, let’s have a look at them:First, we have alcohol excess. Chronic alcohol use can directly suppress bone marrow production and shorten platelet lifespan. It is also frequently associated with chronic liver disease, where the spleen often becomes enlarged due to portal hypertension destroying more platelets than usual — a process known as hypersplenism. Then we have recreational drugs, which can also impair platelet production or trigger immune-mediated destruction.Then, travel history is also very important. Malaria, for example, often presents with ...
