In this episode we delve deeper into the careers of both Shilpa and Yuen and how they paved their way to embrace leadership, carving pathways through the dense undergrowth of traditional practice in Primary Care. With the landscape of General Practice shifting beneath our feet, we highlight how both Shilpa and Yuen found themselves at the vanguard, championing the integration of clinical pharmacy into a setting that has been historically dominated by doctors and nurses.
