Portfolio careers in pharmacy

In this episode of The PJ Pod , we talk about portfolio careers: what they involve, the advantages and disadvantages, and how to build one.

Growing numbers of pharmacists are making the transition from traditional, single employer roles to the ‘portfolio’ model where a range of part-time positions are combined into a single, highly flexible and dynamic professional path.

In this episode of The PJ Pod, Katherine Sole, editor of research and learning, talks to Ruhina Kassam, chief executive of Clinical Pharmacist Solutions and director of professional standards and quality assurance at DPP Connect, and Hayley Berry, a pharmacist who works at the Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education and runs her own aesthetics clinic.

They discuss how a portfolio approach has helped them build successful careers, and share advice and tips on what it takes to work successfully across multiple roles.

This episode was produced by Geoff Marsh.
