Doctors & Pharmacists - Working together

In our latest podcast episode, we explore the value of good communication and collaboration between doctors and pharmacists in supporting patient-centred care and safety. Our host Dr Penelope Elix speaks with Adrian Lee, pharmacist and former deputy president of the NSW Pharmacy Council, with Dr Mel Griffiths, a GP and NSW Medical Council hearing member. They discuss the dynamics of building effective professional relationships to support better patient outcomes and patient safety. Our guests share practical tips on engaging patients to promoting medication adherence, to navigating the regulatory and professional roles of each profession when it comes to prescribing and dispensing.
