John Evans discusses how pharmacy can find its new generation of leaders – and keep the existing ones in a profession under pressure
In this episode of the AJP podcast, Carlene McMaugh speaks with John Evans, general manager, pharmacy services, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania for ICON Group Pharmacy, part of ICON cancer care. He’s also the Victorian branch chair of the Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia.
In this podcast, John discusses burnout, the future of pharmacy technicians and how they can contribute to healthcare – as well as how hospital pharmacists have been promoting pharmacy services to political decision-makers.
John notes that a lot of people are stepping away from leadership positions in pharmacy, saying it’s harder now thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic – but that this needs to be addressed.
He also discusses the pharmacist shortage, and what factors are contributing to it, including the pandemic and its influence on pharmacists needing time for themselves.
He also has a lot of advice for pharmacists who are considering to move into the hospital sector… whether full-time, part-time or as a hybrid career with community pharmacy, with lots of options for different roles.
