The Dokkcast

The Dokkcast is an evidence-led health podcast hosted by Dr Nara Daubeney. Open, accessible conversations with eminent doctors, clinicians, researchers and healthcare specialists, who translate complex medical subjects into information you can understand and use.

The internet isn't short on wellness advice. It's short on trust. Social platforms reward reach, not rigour, and separating credible guidance from confident misinformation is harder than ever. The Dokkcast exists to help. No hype, no fads, no misinformation: just qualified professionals given the time and space to explain their work properly, say why it matters and consider where their field may be heading next.

YOUR HOST

Dr Nara Daubeney is a consultant ENT surgeon and entrepreneur based in London. She has a PhD in immunology from Imperial College, is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, Honorary Secretary of ENTUK and Clinical Lead for Innovation at the Royal Society of Medicine. She brings clinical experience, curiosity and a talent for asking the questions listeners want answered.
