  • The hope of healthcare—pharmacists must be bigger
    For pharmacists to be the hope of healthcare, we must be ready to articulate the unique problems that we solve. We know we can solve problems. Some of the problems we solve are expressly defined by a local, regional, or national agency. Some are because of our unique positioning within the larger healthcare system where no law or regulation provides comment or limitation.

  • Pharmacists, don't underestimate your impact as communicators
    Do not underestimate your impact, pharmacists! In an age where misinformation is rampant, we need healthcare professionals to communicate in public domains and with the media now more than ever. Pharmacists are expert communicators, it’s what we do every single day!

  • Pharmacists, use your filter to understand the true problem
    Pharmacy does not come with a user guide. Pharmacy leaders must hear what is going on in the game and help the players find a solution that fits within the rulebook. To do this, we do not necessarily need to invent the answer ourselves. Instead, we must understand the problems, leave emotion aside and generate ideas from other people.

  • The hope of healthcare – pharmacists solve problems
    Pharmacists are paid to solve problems. Truth be told, every person on planet Earth is paid for the exact same reason. Everyone is paid to solve problems. The chef is paid to solve the problem of people being hungry. The lawyer is paid to solve legal problems. Pharmacists are paid to solve drug-related problems.

  • From pharmacy owner to investor – the mindset change you need post-exit
    To protect and grow a large sum of money like the one you (hope to) receive from the sale of your pharmacy business, you need to have a completely different mindset. After you sell, you are no longer an entrepreneur or business-builder. You are an investor. And making a successful transition from owner to investor means changing the way you think about your wealth.

  • Pharmacy U Vancouver presenter Shelita Dattani: "Lessons from the pandemic."
    Pharmacy teams have been vaccinating Canadians for well over a decade and are integral in establishing, building and maintaining vaccine confidence. Pharmacists have helped to build confidence with influenza vaccines, routine immunizations and have reassured their communities about safety of vaccination in children and pregnancy.
