There is nothing more important than your health, or the health of your family.
Drivetime-Patient delivers trusted, easy-to-understand audio modules that help you understand your diagnosis, tests, treatment options and what to expect. Understanding your condition helps you make confident, informed decisions about your care.
Anyone diagnosed with a health condition, or anyone wanting to better understand one.
Doctors are experts in diagnosis and treatment, but consultation time is often limited and there’s a lot of information to take in. Our modules allow you to revisit explanations in your own time.
Drivetime-Patient also supports doctors and healthcare teams, who can refer patients to reliable information outside the consultation. Informed patients can have more productive conversations with their healthcare team, benefiting both patients and clinicians.
Each module focuses on one health condition, broken down into clear, easy-to-follow sections, using plain language and avoiding medical jargon.
It includes 10 short audio conversations with Australian doctors, each around 12 minutes.
You can listen via our website or via your favourite podcast platform, at your own pace, and return to topics whenever needed.
Drivetime-Patient is not a weekly podcast chasing trends. It is a structured, practical resource built around real patient and doctor needs.
Each module is developed independently with Australian doctors and specialists, focusing on the questions and concerns patients commonly have.
We bring together current medical evidence and guidelines and explain them in clear, practical language, so information is easier to understand and use in everyday life.
Modules include information about the doctors involved, so you know who you’re listening to. We also have transcripts and links to trusted organisations and resources.
Some modules receive financial support from third parties to help make them possible. Support doesn’t influence the content and is clearly disclosed.

Health affects every aspect of our lives, yet finding reliable health information isn’t always easy.
Much of what’s available can be confusing, biased or unreliable, making it difficult for patients and families to know what information to trust.
Drivetime-Radio has produced medical education for healthcare professionals since 1988.
We’ve learned that patients play a vital role in managing their own health, but you can only act on information you understand.
Drivetime-Patient was created to make trusted health education easier to access and easier to understand, helping patients and families feel more confident navigating their care.
