2021 unwrapped: the year in pharmacy

The PJ Pod

In our last PJ Pod of the year, we eat some mince pies and ruminate over what has been a momentous 12 months in the history of the pharmacy profession. We also stake our journalistic reputations on some predictions of what might be the big news for pharmacists in 2022. Should pharmacists in the NHS be preparing for industrial action over pay? What will health secretary Sajid Javid's next move be? Will degree apprenticeships be introduced in pharmacy? Are COVID-19 antivirals really what they cracked up to be? Hosting this episode is executive editor Nigel Praities, who is joined by the lateral flow-confirmed COVID-19 negative PJ team, including Julia Robinson, clinical and science editor, Carolyn Wickware, deputy news editor, Corrinne Burns, RPS correspondent and Angela Kam, senior research and learning editor. The episode was produced by Geoff Marsh.
