Kristin and Dan caught up with Lauren Cortis, pharmacist and PhD candidate to talk about generalism, specialisation and how these interact with patients needing better care.
We discuss:
- The risks of specialisation to patient care, and how patients need generalists as much as specialists
- Why pharmacists specialise and how we can think about the future of pharmacy
- Why all pharmacists should work towards being better generalists
- Why specialisation can cause problems for patients with cancer or chronic disease
- How generalist care isn’t just adding together different specialists
- How ‘generalist’ as a word has negative connotations and how generalism is undervalued
