The Aural Apothecary Almanac 2024. Weight loss drugs, Assisted dying and the Weight of the British National Formulary
Thursday, 19 December, 2024
Pull up a chair and join the Three Apothecaries around the fire as we wrap up the year with a lively chat featuring friends and colleagues Clare Howard and Jonathan Underhill. Together, we reflect on an exciting and dramatic year in the ever-changing world of healthcare and medicines.From groundbreaking developments like weight-loss drugs and debates around assisted dying to critical issues such as polypharmacy and exploring new career paths, we dive into the stories that shaped 2024—and how they’ve impacted us personally and professionally.On a lighter note, What does the weight of the British National Formulary reveal about the history of medicines? What drink smells like a pharmacy? And how measuring Prostate Specific Antigen can be fun!For this episode’s micro discussion, we travel back 60 years to explore the 1964 classic, "Patient's View of Admission to a London Teaching Hospital." This fascinating study sheds light on how patient experiences have evolved—and in some cases, stayed the same—over the decades. (Read the paper)This year has been one for the record books, with the Three Apothecaries travelling to Bordeaux and performing for a sell-out audience in Cardiff. We’re so grateful to our incredible guests and loyal listeners for making it another unforgettable year of stories, conversations, and medicines-related fun.Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!Check out our website www.theauralapothecary.com for a searchable database of all episodes, blogs and bonus content for your enjoyment and education.To get in touch and interact follow us on Blue Sky @auralapothecary.pharmsky.app , Twitter @auralapothecary or email us at auralapothecarypod@gmail.com .
