Red Whale

Red Whale Medical education for primary care. Online courses from our award-winning webinar studio. GP Update, Women's Health, Mental Health, MSK and Cancer.

PHARMA-FREE https://linktr.ee/redwhale Our mission is to provide primary care clinicians with the best quality medical education in the UK – creating content that you can put into practice straight away, making your life a little bit easier and enabling you to provide your patients with the best care possible. We try to offer products that respond to the different learning styles of all primary ca

re clinicians, at different stages in their career; from our beloved handbooks to our flagship one day face to face update courses, to online courses, award winning webinars and online resources you can access 24/7. And whilst we can’t promise to make the long days shorter, the dark days lighter or your appointment list any less crowded, we CAN promise that we will do some of the hard work for you, cutting through the clutter and producing relevant content and tools to help you deal with the challenges you face every day and save you time and energy. The quality of our education is our guiding principle. We are far from perfect, but we will never knowingly let our standards drop. If we accidentally make a mistake (and we do make a few), we will tell you and apologise. We hold our customers, colleagues, suppliers and environmental concerns at the forefront of every decision we make. We strive to do better by each and every one of our stakeholders, even when it costs us more to do so. While all that might sound a bit serious, we never take ourselves too seriously, incorporating a good dose of humour in everything we do. Oh, and you’ve probably heard us mention this before, but we will never ever EVER take pharmaceutical company sponsorship of any kind, no exhibitors, no pharma sponsored mail shots, not even a biscuit a pen or a sticky note! And we’re shamelessly proud of it!

We asked yesterday: what’s your realistic CPD window?
Here’s what you told us 👇
45% said 30 minutes
35% said 1 hour
20% said… “what is free time?!”
So if you’ve been waiting for a free afternoon to do CPD… you’re not alone.
The reality? Most learning happens in small, practical moments that fit around everything else.
And that still counts.

In an ideal world, sure. In real life? Not always possible.
Sometimes good CPD looks like 10 quiet minutes before clinic, a quick podcast on the go, or finding the one answer you need at the right moment.
What’s your most realistic CPD window - 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or “what is free time?”

This Diabetes Week (8–14 June), the focus is on stigma - and the impact it has on care.
Bias isn’t always obvious. It can quietly shape how we communicate, what we assume, and how patients are heard.
None of us sets out to do harm. But it’s worth reflecting - what could be influencing our behaviour without us realising?
Our latest Pearl explores unconscious bias in healthcare - and why it matters.
