Welcome to

Pharmacy in Practice

At Pharmacy in Practice we have gone back to our editorial roots. We have slowed things down and will publish insight and opinions on the UK pharmacy scene.

Podcast

The Pharmacy in Practice podcast includes conversations with a wide range of pharmacy-related folk. We love to add context and move beyond the headline.

Insight

We publish insightful articles written by industry experts. Occasionally we will run a series when we delve into a particular topic and explore all sides of the issue.

Conference

We now host an annual conference. The theme last year was ‘The Future Pharmacist’. The conference is available on the conference page below and on the podcast feed.

This podcast interview is with pharmacist Janice Perkins. Janice has over 30 years of leadership experience in community pharmacy.  She’s the former Superintendent Pharmacist of Well Pharmacy.


Scottish community pharmacy prescribes the right medicine

This podcast interview is with Richard Stephenson. Richard has been Chief Operating Officer at Right Medicine Pharmacy for approximately 13 years. He is also Managing Director of the buying group Edinpharm and leads his own consultancy business, R5 Consult. 


Educational content

Education in Practice is our brand-new website dedicated to education in the community pharmacy arena. The website will be in development for the next few months.

Professor Lis Neubeck describes the basics of atrial fibrillation management and how accessing various data sources might help.
