Revolutionising Primary Care: A Clinical Pharmacist's Tale

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. Navigating the complexities of patient care, both have spearheaded initiatives that bring medication management and the role of Clinical Pharmacists to the forefront. In today's dynamic healthcare environment, it is clear: Pharmacists must step into broader roles. This podcast cultivates a discussion not only about the clinical pathways and steps both Shilpa and Yuen have undertaken but also about the personal growth and mindset they have adopted to reach their goals. An episode worth tuning in to!
