The Epilim/Sodium Valproate Scandal - with Dr. Jim Morrow

Meet Dr. Jim Morrow, a former Neurologist from Northern Ireland, with whom we are talking about Sodium Valproate, aka Epilim, its feature in the UK Government's "Cumberlege Review", and why it has been called a "public health scandal" by some.

Sodium Valproate is a medicine commonly used to treat epilepsy (and bipolar actually) and has been around since the 1960s. You'll find it referred to mainly as Valproate in this podcast.
