Reflecting on the theme for this year’s International Women’s Day ‘Accelerate Action’ we held a learning and networking event that encourages pharmacists to come together, advocate for themselves and each other. You will be equipped with practical tips, advice and bags of inspiration, positively impacting women’s advancement.

Watch this recording for:

• An inspirational panel session on ‘Accelerating Change’, hearing from individuals from a range of different backgrounds and sectors on how they have navigated the system to advocate for themselves.
• Discussions with our male allies about how we can all support each other to address gender inequalities.

We’re thrilled to have hosted this event in collaboration with other pharmacy organisations. Together we curated an expert line-up of speakers to educate, share and inspire. Including:

• Shilpa Shah – Chief Executive Officer, North East London LPC
• Karen Baxter – Deputy CEO, RPS
• Victoria Steele – Director and Founder, Steelier Ltd
• Natasha Callender – Head of Medicines Optimisation – Safety, Quality and Governance
• Binita Patel – Pharmacist, Boots
