In our first podcast for 2020, Carlene McMaugh speaks to Melissa Sheldrick about her tireless advocacy to promote medication safety following the death of her son, and how pharmacists should look on a mistake as a learning experience and not something that requires punishment.

Ms Sheldrick presented a very well-received discussion on this topic at PSA19 in Sydney last year.

In particular we look at the impact of scheduling changes – considering how both pharmacist and patient attitudes and ideas have altered – and how pharmacists can, and should, separate population-wide medication strategies from individual patient requirements and care.

What are the role and limitations of medications? How can pharmacists work as part of pain management teams? How should we approach patients about their pain care and make the process a personal one?

We also look at the impact of changes on pharmacy profitability 

Among those whom Carlene speaks to are Chris Campbell, Dr Shane Jackson, Renae Beardmore, FIP CEO Dr Catherine Duggan, Sandra Minas and Ravi Sharma

In a profession that has been female-dominated (numerically) for many years, is this being reflected in opportunity? Similarly, how representative is pharmacy for minority groups?

Our podcast team discuss the state of play and what needs to be done to progress the profession and give equal opportunity to all, across the full gamut of practice and career paths

In this podcast our team cover the evolution of pharmacy qualifications, looking at topics such as how are pharmacy undergraduate degrees changing? How often should curricula be reviewed? Can pharmacy degrees be broadened? or should pharmacy undergraduates be able to choose a specialisation early in their course?

Our team of experts: academics and pharmacists discuss the state of play around the changing nature of a pharmacy degree
