Top experts from St. Joseph’s Health Care London hit the airwaves this fall with DocTalks, a new podcast series hosted by London journalist Ian Gillespie.
“So, tell me more about insulin”, DocTalks host Ian Gillespie asks as he leans intently towards the microphone. He’s interviewing Dr. Tamara Spaic, an endocrinologist at St. Joseph’s Health Care London (St. Joseph’s) and the topic of conversation today is diabetes.
Informative conversations like this, plus many others, will be coming through your speakers this fall with the launch of St. Joseph’s all new DocTalks Podcast.
