This final podcast episode of the year continues our annual tradition of looking back at the biggest stories to affect pharmacy teams across the UK and reflecting on our highlights from The PJ Pod over the past 12 months.
While 2023 has been a significant year for pharmacy, with the announcement of a new NHS ‘Pharmacy First’ service in England and accelerating plans for pharmacist prescribers, we also make our predictions for the year ahead.
