"Health is more than the absence of disease, so we tackle topics impacting all aspects of your health and wellbeing. Because we trained as doctors together, are dear friends and believe laughter truly is the best medicine, we find joy discussing the profession we love. It’s like being privy to a conversation that you might otherwise never hear; what goes on "behind the curtains,” while providing clarity and insights to complex issues." Hosted by Professor Jonathan Sackier, a surgeon and Doctor Nigel Guest, a family practitioner, with their 50 years of joint experience in the medical industry they bring you Join the Docs. A blend of fun and facts, empowering our listeners with news they can use to seek the best healthcare. After training in surgery in Britain, Jonathan was recruited to America to help introduce laparoscopic “keyhole” surgery. He loved caring for patients, teaching, conducting research and sharing his passion for medicine.‍ Patients’ needs inspired Jonathan to help develop several medical inventions, including the first surgical robot and various devices, diagnostics, drugs and services. Always valuing Nigel’s perspectives, their shared love of science and humour, and driven by the social constraints imposed by Covid, Join the Docs was born over many late-night video calls and virtual cocktail hours! Nigel grew up in Britain’s ‘Black Country’ zealously to his bizarre accent. A Liverpool University educated doctor, he stoically remained in the country’s northwest building a large National Health Service (NHS) General Practice.‍ Motivated by improving patient care, Nigel increasingly became involved with healthcare management, ultimately becoming CEO of a successful and innovative NHS Commissioning Group, overseeing a £350m budget and leading large-scale cancer care and mental health innovations.‍ Driven by a joint love of education and communication, and believing in the therapeutic power of humour, Nigel and Jonathan have come together at Join the Docs to share experiences, educate and hopefully amuse. Stay happy, stay healthy, as it beats the alternative. You spend a long time dead.

The Doctor Is Live-In – Prescribing Laughter At Cheerful Earful

In this special live episode of Join the Docs, recorded amid the lively buzz of the Cheerful Ear Podcast Festival, our beloved medical duo—surgeon and pun enthusiast Jonathan Sackier, and GP-turned-stand-up-comedian Nigel Guest—step out from behind the mic and onto the stage to bring their comedic clinic to a live audience. It’s not your typical episode; instead of their usual studio setup, Jonathan and Nigel dive into the quirks and curiosities of healthcare with real-time reactions, laughter, and applause from an audience eager to join in the fun.

As they entertain a crowd brimming with podcast fans, The Docs revisit some of their most memorable moments from previous episodes, recounting tales that left listeners in stitches (metaphorically speaking). From the bizarre patient who thought a hard boiled egg belonged where the sun don’t shine to the lady who was convinced she was a poached egg, these fan-favourite stories come to life in front of an audience who’s hanging on every word.

The festival atmosphere brings a new energy to the show as Jonathan and Nigel invite the audience to share their own medical misadventures, guess the most obscure diagnoses, and laugh along in real time. It’s a fitting setting for The Docs who firmly believe that laughter is the best medicine—whether it’s curing a rough day or simply lightening the load of medical life.

So, grab a seat and get ready to join in on the laughter, camaraderie, and quick-witted exchanges that make Join the Docs a crowd favourite. This episode, recorded live, is bound to deliver a generous dose of humour with just the right prescription for fun—no copay required.
