    In this episode of The FCP Podcast, Richard is joined by Dr Fiona McKevitt to explore three challenging neurological presentations commonly encountered in primary care: transient loss of consciousness (TLOC), facial droop, and suspected multiple sclerosis (MS).

    Using patient cases, we discuss a practical approach to assessment, key history and examination findings, appropriate investigations, recognising red flags, and knowing when urgent or specialist referral is required.

    A clinically focused episode designed to help frontline primary care clinicians build confidence when assessing patients with potentially significant neurological symptoms.

    Hope you enjoy the episode!

    In this episode of The FCP Podcast, Richard is joined by Emily Styles to discuss the MAGIC project — a programme designed to help general practice teams prepare for and manage medical emergencies.

    We explore where the MAGIC project came from, the challenges it was developed to address, and how an initial idea evolved into a national programme.

    Emily explains the GP Quick Reference Handbook, including the clinical checklists designed to support teams during rare but high-pressure emergencies. We discuss how these resources can improve patient safety, support team performance, and provide a structured approach when every second counts.

    We also hear about feedback from practices using the handbook and MAGIC training, examples of its impact, and how GP practices and Primary Care Networks can access the resources and get started.

    A practical episode for anyone working in primary care who wants to improve their team's preparedness for managing emergencies in general practice.

    Hope you enjoy the episode!
