In this episode, Dr Hannah Rosa, Dr Kate Chesterman and Dr Roger Henderson invite you to join them for the annual GPnotebook quiz.

This quiz is based on the facts that they have found the most useful, interesting and sometimes surprising. So, have a pen and a piece of paper ready and give it a go!
