Pilot Episode: Pharmacists in the media
Podcast Description
For our first episode in our new Pharmacy in the Bathtub podcast, we have chosen to take a light-hearted exploration of how pharmacists have been portrayed in the media from Shakespeare to Holby City! However, as a postgraduate clinical pharmacy team at the great University of Bath, we hope to introduce further topics in health-related areas and speak to pharmacists and other health professionals as experts in their fields. Join us on this podcast journey!

Prof Tina Brock is the Director of the Collaborative Practice Centre Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, and a mentor of many. Tina talks candidly about her role in global health spanning all 6 WHO regions with particular reference to strengthening health systems and human resources as a key component of that. Tina explains her role at the Collaborative Practice Centre in reducing silo’s in healthcare education and practice (take note of the silo-based pun which I was particularly impressed with!). We also venture into the importance of planetary health, and the use of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) as a mechanism of ensuring global harmonisation of global health practice in pharmacy (David Steeb’s reference below). Finally, a special mention and personal acknowledgement of the podcast art by the philanthropic Ollie Brock…. We cover a lot – come and listen!
This episode is part of the Global Health in Pharmacy short course if you want to learn more.
