Grab your trainers, your dog lead, or your drink of choice and join us for some free CPD as we have another relaxed round up of recent Red Whale primary care Pearls of wisdom. In the second of two episodes this month, Fi and Nik discuss:

- How we can identify addictive behaviour.
- Factors that make individuals more susceptible.
Listen as soon as you can to ensure you have full access to all the free resources.
