We'll also have an update on the NICE guideline for treatment of Gout - particularly highlighting changes around uses of urate lowering therapy, and how often we should be testing patient's serum urate levels when they're experiencing flare-ups. Our Guests. Katherine Hall is the associate dean of medical admissions at the university of Otago, and has researched how physician experience affects their practice.
