Whether you are just starting out or have years of experience, we are here to help you lead with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

We are all treaty people, and as we share and learn together, we commit to carrying forward a spirit of respect, reciprocity, and relationship in our work as health professionals and educators in Kjipuktuk, also known as Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. From practical tips and real-world stories to expert guests and fresh perspectives, every episode brings something new to support your growth as a preceptor in today’s fast-evolving healthcare world. So plug in, take a breath, and join us as we chart a course through the art and impact of pharmacy precepting—together.

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
