This episode of Digest This! catapults us straight into a future where we can tailor treatment to the specific disease phenotype. Mr Jamieson offers us a wonderful overview on the management of pancreatic cancer, drawing from his extensive and internationally renowned lab work and clinical experience. Precision medicine is the future for pancreatic cancer and clinical practice in general. And the future is now!

The Digest This! webinars were born from an original idea of Dr Elaine Robertson, who had the ambitious plan of a readily available, on-the-go, accessible and flexible way of learning that would suit the busy life of doctors. While e-learning has become popular in recent years, expertise and human interaction is crucial in medical education – Digest This! episodes take the form of recorded interviews with expert speakers and allow both flexibility of learning and human interaction.

Each episode of Digest This! is recorded with the assistance of the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Medical Illustration team, and can be viewed (or listened to in ‘podcast’ format alone) on a smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer.

Whilst initially targeted at Gastroenterology and Hepatology consultants and trainees, we believe Digest This! is of interest to other medical and surgical specialties as well as nurses, AHPs, other doctors in training and medical students.
