A Doctor's View
A Doctor’s View takes a deeper look at common medical and health-related issues, approaching each topic with clarity, honesty, and a thoughtful, reflective style.
Hosted by Dr Polyvios, the podcast connects clinical insight with everyday experience — exploring the medical facts, the psychology behind them, and how they shape everyday life.
A calm, engaging space for anyone who wants to understand health and the human experience more clearly — all from a light-hearted but opinionated doctor’s perspective.

Dementia – an overview and planning for the future
If you have any comments or suggestions, send us a text message!
On the back of being privileged to be invited to the Financial Times Health Live Dementia Summit, I have decided to dedicate this episode to dementia and hopefully answer some questions the patients with newly diagnosed dementia may have or indeed anyone who has a friend or relative affected and wishes to learn more. I will focus on the symptoms of dementia as well as what needs to be done once a diagnosis has been made. I also discuss some of the things I learnt from the summit and what is being done to try and improve the quality of life for dementia patients.
