For Tase Oputu, becoming the first president of the Royal College of Pharmacy is “the greatest honour of my career”, and she says the move to a royal college is already changing how pharmacy is received by policymakers.
In this episode of The PJ Pod, Oputu talks to reporter Corrinne Burns about her career in hospital pharmacy and commissioning, her long-standing commitment to inclusion and diversity, and what is happening to the recommendations handed over by the UK Pharmacy Professional Leadership Advisory Board.
She also urges members and non-members alike to weigh in on the College’s long-term draft strategy: “If you don’t agree with things, come and talk to us about it as well.”
