Out now: a conversation about my top fiction read of last year which might just be my top read of the decade. Brotherless Night by @sugi.bsky.social is an astonishingly brilliant (perfect?!) novel and there is so much to think about. Listen now: bedsidereading.buzzsprout.com/1880290/epis...

August Reading!!! 12 books. Hard to pick a favourite but The Safekeep and We All Want Impossible Things are well up there

Coming up on Tuesday 2nd September I’m joined by GP and poet Kathleen Wenaden to explore the incredible #BrotherlessNight by @sugi.bsky.social

Perfect holiday read. Thank you @toryscott.bsky.social what a brilliant story (though I empathised far too much with Beth’s marital situation which was both affirming to be “seen” and also a bit unexpectedly unsettling).

I'm delighted to welcome Jo Rose to talk about The Story of a Heart by @drrachelclarke.com This incredible book interweaves the stories of two children, Kiera and who has died after a road traffic accident, and Max who is awaiting a heart transplant. bedsidereading.buzzsprout.com/1880290/epis...

Perfect reading space! What are you reading this bank holiday?

Coming up on Tuesday I’m joined by Jo Rose to talk about an excellent book: “The Story of a Heart” by @drrachelclarke.com which recently won the Women’s Prize for non fiction.

A warm welcome to @benallengp.bsky.social and Joanna Bircher talking about a book they've both been involved in, a collection of stories from leaders in Primary Care. #MedSky #PrimaryCare bedsidereading.buzzsprout.com/1880290/epis...

Coming up on Tuesday - stories from a variety of leaders in healthcare.

Thank you for your wonderful review. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I wish everyone would read it too. Especially politicians. Then all doctors, whose voices are unsettlingly quiet on the matter of our government led withdrawal of trans healthcare and how this fits with ‘do no harm’.

what an astonishingly brilliant heartbreaking book. I cannot tell you how good it is and how much everyone should read it. @alicemydaughter.bsky.social

Out now: adolescents, mass psychogenic illness and just the perfect summer holiday novel. I’m talking to Rebecca Wait about her novel Havoc bedsidereading.buzzsprout.com/1880290/epis...

I absolutely LOVED Rebecca Wait's novel "Havoc". If you're looking for the perfect summer read it might be just what you're looking for. Here's a sneak preview of the brilliant conversation I had with her, full episode out on Tuesday 12th August

Out now @heidiedmundson.bsky.social joins me to talk about her brilliant memoir #BellyFull #medSky #BookSky bedsidereading.buzzsprout.com/1880290/epis...

My name is Leon by Kit de Waal @kitdewaal is one of the most amazing books ever and one I recommend often to people to think about identity, the care system and being a child. She’s talking about it on radio 4 this afternoon. I suspect will be well worth a listen. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Coming up on Tuesday 5th I’m delighted to welcome @heidiedmundson.bsky.social to talk about her excellent memoir

I’m delighted to welcome GP and coach Sam Powell to talk about Playing Big by Tara Mohr. This is a really accessible leadership book, thinking about why we often "play small", why we don't necessarily push ourselves forward, why we let our inner critic sabotage our amazing ideas.

Check your language.

Coming up on Tuesday 29th July, GP and coach Sam Powell joins me to talk about Playing Big by Tara Mohr #medsky #booksky

I'm delighted today to welcome Joe Moore to talk about his young adult novel “Blue Suns and Skyshine”. A adolescent boy is left a series of letters by his grandfather, which lead him on a magical mystery tour around the British Isles, ostensibly to scatter his granddad's ashes.

Not sure what premonition/karma meant I’d started listening to @lucygobag.bsky.social brilliant book 3 days before the bombshell that was being dumped after 27 years with my partner. Couldn’t read/listen at all for a while but I’m back to it, and all the wisdom and compassion is definitely helping.

Coming up on Tuesday 22nd July I’m delighted to welcome Joe Moore to talk about his brilliant book “Blue Sons and Skyshine”

Having a tricky time and heartbreak compounded by being unable to read. This evening I’m grateful for a beautiful sunset. The world is a strange place but whatever happens around me the constant of the sun rising and setting every day and the beauty of where I live astounds me.

A really fascinating experience to hear a conversation about NEEDLE, a book that means so much to me. @barringtonstoke.bsky.social

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and discuss NEEDLE. I wrote the book hoping that it would provoke conversations, especially about how we, as a society, treat vulnerable young people who are angry, grieving, frightened... (And won't say 'sorry'!)

It's a huge pleasure to welcome the brilliant Becky Platt to Bedside Reading this week. We're talking about Needle by @lawrencepatrice.bsky.social This is an incredible short novel and we had so much to say! Listen here: bedsidereading.buzzsprout.com/1880290/epis...

Delighted that the episode Zalan Alam and I recorded on Aftershock by Matthew Green has been recommended as a good listen by the RCGP Veteran Friendly Practice scheme!! Listen here if you missed it: bedsidereading.buzzsprout.com/1880290/epis...

Sneak preview for Tuesday 15th when I’m joined by the incredible Becky Platt to talk about Needle by Patrice Lawrence

A very warm welcome today to retired paediatrician, Dr Harry Stone, who is here today to talk about his memoir, Trust Me, I'm Exhausted, How Not to Train a Doctor. Listen here: bedsidereading.buzzsprout.com/1880290/epis...

Out now I’m joined by Scott Weingart @emcrit.bsky.social to talk about Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg bedsidereading.buzzsprout.com/1880290/epis...

Current read. So far excellent.

What a brilliant novel. Has anyone else read this?

Sneak peek for Tuesday 1st July when I’m joined by Scott Weingart of @emcrit.bsky.social to explore Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B Rosenberg

Had a lot of fun this evening recording a podcast with @jtjbooth.bsky.social about the amazing book #MaybeImAmazed by @johnharris1969.bsky.social

Had a lovely fun afternoon recording a podcast with Dr. Ahmed Handy about his book #quacks we did this at the brilliant @scarthinbooks.bsky.social but as I stupidly forgot to take a photo you’ll have to make do with a picture of us from the book launch a few weeks ago.

A very warm welcome today to midwife and educator Suzanne Crozier. We are discussing “The Midwife” by Tricia Cresswell, an absolutely brilliant historical fiction novel, which Suzanne and I both enjoyed enormously. bedsidereading.buzzsprout.com/1880290/epis...

I’m listening to an important and frankly terrifying audiobook. Sex robots, cyber brothels… things I think I’d like to pretend weren’t a thing but which I now feel the need to talk about and campaign against. Thank you (i think) @laurabates.bsky.social for writing this and drawing my attention to it

Sneak Peek for Tuesday 24th when Suzanne Crozier joins me to discuss The Midwife by Tricia Cresswell

Best evening listening to @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social at Buxton and then getting a book signed and a photo with this absolute legend. Wish I’d had a “tissues needed” warning for the first half though as I wept copiously as he spoke about Eddie.

Delighted to welcome OT and disability activist Georgia Vine to the podcast today to talk about her book “Occupational Therapy, Disability Activism and Me” Listen here: bedsidereading.buzzsprout.com/1880290/epis...
