The Rare Disease Podcast
Interviews with patients, clinicians, advocates, students, researchers focusing on rare disease in clinical medicine. This podcast is brought to you by Medics4RareDiseases who are asking medical professionals to #daretothinkrare in order to improve diagnosis, clinical care and research in this neglected but really important field of medicine. 350 million people in the UK live with a rare disease so while each disease is individually rare, together rare diseases are common.
