#WIALT (What I Am Listening to) — Let’s Talk Health
Leyla hosts two friends and colleagues to provide some great insights.
Dr Leyla Hannbeck is joined by Yasmin Karsan and Khalid Khan on the latest episode of Let’s Talk Health to tackle the big questions facing pharmacy right now.
With a wave of newly qualified independent prescribers entering the system, the profession is expanding faster than the infrastructure can support. Funding gaps, fragmented digital systems and interoperability failures at pathfinder sites all threaten to undermine progress.
Yet there is genuine cause for optimism. COVID shifted public perception of pharmacy for good. Patients value face-to-face care. And automation - including AI - could free up pharmacists for deeper clinical work and the human connection that technology simply cannot replicate.
The central question is whether the profession will shape its own future or merely react to change imposed on it. Funding, leadership and a clear roadmap will determine the answer.
A must-listen for anyone in pharmacy, healthcare or health policy.
