    The guardians of the antibiotics
    Nov 6 2025

    Antibiotics have a huge impact on delivering health care and reducing mortality – about a third of children in hospitals are taking these medicines – but the threat of antimicrobial resistance is real.

    Dr Sanjay Patel, a consultant in paediatric infectious diseases and immunology, talks to hosts Emma and Christo about its causes and how we can improve antimicrobial stewardship for the benefit of all patients.

  • Drilling down into teeth

    Drilling down into teeth
    Sep 23 2025

    Children's oral health is in a crisis: it's the most common reason for children to visit a hospital and it's not improving as quickly as we need.

    Professor Peter Day, paediatric dentist and professor of children's oral health, speaks with us around the stark facts on tooth decay – it affects 10% of three-year-olds and 48% of 15-year-olds – with impact on a child's ability to sleep, eat, talk and go to school, and on the health service – and how community interventions can help. Plus, how supervised tooth brushing can provide economic as well as health benefits.

    Professor Peter Day is a Paediatric Dentist (in Leeds and Bradford) and Professor of Children's Oral Health at the University of Leeds with interests and expertise in children's oral health research and dental trauma. He speaks with the podcast host and paediatrician, Dr Emma Lim.
