Pilot Episode: Pharmacists in the media
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!

The podcast explores a variety of themes related to pharmacy and health, including the portrayal of pharmacists in media and global health challenges.
