Dr Nick Dunn is joined by Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist Miss Lauren Green to discuss two common but often misunderstood conditions: endometriosis and Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), previously known as PCOS.

Lauren explains why endometriosis can be so hard to diagnose, the symptoms that shouldn't just be accepted as part of having periods, and what treatment can look like across primary and specialist care. She also talks about why women so often grow up believing that living with pain is normal.

Nick and Lauren also unpack what's behind the PMOS name change. Lauren explains how insulin resistance can make weight loss metabolically more difficult, and talks about the physical and emotional impact the condition can have. We hear how, for Lauren, taking the time to really listen so patients feel heard is often the first step towards managing symptoms and protecting long-term health.

Nick also finds out what brought Lauren back to Guernsey after training in the UK, why continuity of care is one of the most rewarding parts of her job, and how she unwinds outside the consulting room.

Dr Nick Dunn sits down with Medical Specialist Group Consultant Urologist Mr Owen Cole to discuss some of the most common urinary and prostate symptoms experienced by men, including frequent trips to the toilet during the night, and why they shouldn’t simply be dismissed as a normal part of ageing.

In this episode, they explore prostate and bladder health, the symptoms that may need further investigation, treatment options available in Guernsey, and the lifestyle changes that can make a real difference.

They also discuss when to seek help, what to expect from an assessment, and why seeking advice early can often lead to better outcomes.

The conversation goes beyond medicine too, as Nick and Owen chat about music, local bands, the Eisteddfod and life outside the consulting room.
