Talking pharmacy podcasts

The ‘Talking pharmacy’ podcasts focus on a wide range of topics from within the pharmacy sector and beyond. 

Editors from Pharmacy Magazine, P3Pharmacy and Independent Community Pharmacist get together each week to discuss, debate and deliberate over the top news stories in pharmacy, and look over what’s happening in the wider world of health and politics. 

All our pharmacy podcasts are lively, opinionated, and topical. They are a ‘must listen’ catch-up of the week’s events for community pharmacists and their teams across the UK.

Hosted by Training Matters editor Monica West, each month she takes an in-depth look behind the headlines at a particular area of health. 

Aimed at pharmacy teams, our ‘Category Insight’ podcast topics include women and period poverty, veganism and its impact on nutrition, and what pharmacies can do to improve the nation’s heart health.
