And now for something completely indifferent

In episode 31, host David Willows invites returning pharmacy strategy guests Ned Pojskic (aka GSC’s “Outspoken Evangelist”) and super-pharmacist Leila Mandlsohn to discuss a topic near and dear to our hearts… Canada’s progress with biosimilar adoption. They discuss provincial drug plan movement, the ongoing (and curious) hesitancy from private payors, the patient experience, and the biosimilars pipeline.

In episode 30, host David Willows chats with returning guest Chris Bonnett, Principal Consultant at H3 Consulting, and first-time contributor Helen Stevenson, Founder and CEO of Reformulary Group, about (…to be blunt…) why the pharmacare debate never advances and what collaborative and practical approaches could help “fill the gaps” for Canadians without adequate drug coverage.

In this episode, host David Willows once again interviews Dr. Carlos Quiñonez, associate professor and program director at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto. They re-visit the state of oral health care and talk about the Green Door Project – the largest-ever dental public health service and research program in Canadian history.
