Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pharmacy Inside Jobs: the pharmaceutical industry
Q: What do you think would happen if your role didn't exist?
Without the medical affairs role, there would potentially be a risk to patient safety as the function ensures that products are utilized safely and effectively.
Pharmacy Inside Jobs: the pharmaceutical industry
Q: Can you start off by telling us what the purpose of a Medical Affairs team is and what sort of role you play in that?
The primary objective of the Medical Affairs team is to provide clinical and scientific support for the products of the pharmaceutical company, and to act as a bridge between the industry and the wider medical community.
Spotlight: MPharm ethnicity awarding gap rewidens
Q: What do you think caused that widening of the gap post-pandemic?
The widening of the gap post-pandemic may be linked to a return to in-person assessments, which did not provide the same flexibility and support that online assessments did for ethnic minority students.
Spotlight: MPharm ethnicity awarding gap rewidens
Q: What exactly is the ethnicity awarding gap and why should we be concerned about it in pharmacy education?
The ethnicity awarding gap refers to the difference in degree classifications awarded to white and minority ethnic students, which can limit career prospects for ethnic minority graduates and affect diversity in the pharmacy profession.
Pharmacy Inside Jobs: ADHD assessment and management
Q: What would you say you find the most challenging part of your role?
