In this episode, Charlie Andrews speaks to Melanie Orchard, a consultant surgeon, about diverticular disease and diverticulitis. This is something that we encounter frequently in primary care, and understanding how to approach this condition is extremely important.

Melanie discusses a really pragmatic approach to patients with symptoms suggestive of diverticulitis.
