Foundation Pharmacy Podcast

This week, we have a very special guest, community pharmacist, head of training and professional standards at Imaan Pharmacy, Khalid Khan! We talk about differential attainment, an area in the profession full of new ideas and research. It affects all of us and if, like me, you didn’t know much about it, this is a brilliant episode to get you up to speed on the basics and why it’s so important.
