🎙 Surgical Bites – Practical Insights for Resident Doctors

Surgical Bites is a podcast created by Moureen Azer, Faith Shingirirai Ndungwani, and Ana Condescu, and led by Mr. Youssef (Breast Surgeon Consultant), to support resident doctors in their surgical journey. Each episode features conversations with senior surgeons across a range of specialties, focusing on the real questions that resident doctors face on the wards.

Our aim is simple: to bridge the gap between day-to-day clinical challenges and expert guidance. Every topic is shaped by questions submitted directly from resident doctors, ensuring each episode is relevant, practical, and to the point.

From managing common surgical scenarios to understanding when to escalate, Surgical Bites gives you the confidence to tackle your on-call shifts and build stronger foundations in surgery.

👉 Episodes are short (15–20 minutes), focused, and designed to fit into a busy schedule. Whether you’re revising, commuting, or between shifts, you’ll get the teaching you need—when you need it.

This podcast is proudly produced with the support of Chief Engineer Mike Sarre and the Hospital Radio Norwich team, who provide technical expertise, editing, and the platform to bring each episode to life.
