Show Notes

Welcome to the Somerset Emotional Wellbeing (SEW) podcast!

In this episode, Preventing Urinary Tract Infections, our hosts Dr. Peter Bagshaw and Dr. Kate Staveley are joined by Lisa Eastmead-Hoare from NHS Somerset to discuss what urinary tract infections (also known as UTIs) are, how they can affect people of all ages, and what you can do to prevent, and avoid, infection.

The SEW podcast is a free weekly show hosted by Dr. Andrew Tresidder, Dr. Peter Bagshaw and Dr. Kate Staveley. In each episode, the doctors discuss a different topic related to mental and emotional wellbeing and often invite expert guests to join them in conversation. The show is aimed at the people of Somerset and beyond; the advice and guidance provided should apply to anybody who needs it, whenever they need it.

All episodes of SEW are now available to listen to free through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Deezer, Google Podcasts, Amazon Podcasts, Somerset Emotional Wellbeing or wherever you get your podcasts!
