Pull up a chair and join the Three Apothecaries around the fire for our end-of-year chat with friends and colleagues Clare Howard and Jonathan Underhill to discuss another dramatic year.What will 2023 be remembered for? Was it the Year of Community Pharmacy or of Artificial Intelligence? Who would win in a fight – ChatGPT or a clinical pharmacist? How should NICE determine Quality of Life? And what is it that Gimmo and Steve are drinking?!

2023 was also a year of loss. The team reflects on those who are no longer with us and the impact loss and experiencing end of life care has had both on us personally and professionally. We discuss how our special patient focussed series has had a profound impact on how we think about shared decision making.

We also share some exciting news – a show aimed at members of the public. Join us at the Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff on Jan 20th for ‘The three apothecaries: Medicines, Music and Memories https://www.chapter.org/whats-on/the-three-apothecaries-medicines-music-and-memories-podcast-jamie-hayes.
