Nuala Hampson, lead pharmacist at the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare, and Sharon Phleger, consultant in pharmaceutical public health at NHS Highland join CPPE Pharmacy Conversations Podcast for an episode on sustainable pharmacy practices.
"Nuala and Sharon bring extensive experience and passion for embedding sustainability into pharmacy practice. They reflect on their personal journeys into sustainable healthcare, emphasising the pivotal role pharmacy professionals play in addressing the environmental impacts of medicines and healthcare services.
Listeners will gain insights into the five principles of sustainable healthcare—prevention, patient self-care and empowerment, lean service delivery, low-carbon alternatives, and sustainable resource use—and hear practical examples of how pharmacy professionals across all sectors can take meaningful action. From improving repeat prescribing systems to considering pharmaceutical pollution in our waterways, this episode provides both inspiration and actionable ideas.
Whether you're new to sustainability or looking to deepen your practice, this conversation encourages pharmacy professionals to “put on their green goggles” and consider how everyday decisions can support both human and planetary health."
