We have a special treat for you this week as we share the recording of our live show at this year’s Clinical Pharmacy Congress. And as an added bonus you get two guests for the price of one!

Our first guest is Kulpna Daya. Kulpna is a pharmacy technician and co-founder of Pharmacy Technicians of Colour. As an educational specialist, Kulpna has extensive clinical experience which she utilises to promote practice standards to trainees and established members of the team alike. Kulpna shares a very personal story with which everyone listening will empathise!

Second, we chatted to Professor Stephen Bazire. Stephen is a pharmacist who has been involved in mental health for many years, as Chief Pharmacist at the Norfolk and Waveney Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust. He is also an Honorary Professor for the School of Pharmacy at the University of East Anglia, a Trustee for Norwich and Central Norfolk Mind. He will be known to many people as the author of The Psychotropic Drug Directory. Stephen shares some of the stories behind the creation of this seminal text.

Our micro-discussion is replaced by a Q&A with our live studio audience - risky at the time but it paid off and we have a great laugh with conference attendees. Who knew medicines could be so entertaining!
