Hammad Muhammad - S3 E2

Dr Lizzie Tighe - S5 E1

In March 2025, we received a call from Lizzie Tighe, one of the ACTCs in Bristol (listen to the episode to find out what that acronym entails!). Follow along for her journey through medical school and see how she fares with the quickfire questions!

Professor Trevor Thompson - S4 E1

The Galen Calls Team were delighted to welcome Professor Trevor Thompson to the studio recently! We hear about his origins and journey to medicine, as well as his passions in life. It is a thoroughly interesting and insightful discussion. Thank you Prof Thompson!

Professor Chrissie Thirlwell - S3 E3

As we draw Season 3 to a close and also near the end of 2024, Will, Sanskriti and Ella were joined by a very special podcast guest... Professor Chrissie Thirlwell, Head of Bristol Medical School! We find out about her journey and research, as well as what she gets up to day-to-day. Plus, Ella puts her through her paces in Quickfire Questions, alongside teaching her some Gen Z lingo.

Hammad Muhammad - S3 E2

We were visited in the studio by 3rd Year Medical Student Hammad, who shared with us his research on shame, from his Student Choice Project. This was a very interesting discussion, looking at how we as humans experience and react to shame. And of course, we put Hammad through the Quickfire Questions. Can he beat the medical school staff?

Dr Dan Magnus - S3 E1

The studio was busy today where Will, Aruntheny and Ella were joined with Dr Dan Magnus, Consultant Emergency Paediatrician and Global Health Intercalation Lead. Dr Magnus shares his wealth of experiences and advice to us, and of course gives Ella's Quickfire Questions a go.
