Global health and pharmacy: Talking to Prof. Tina Brock

Prof Tina Brock is the Director of the Collaborative Practice Centre Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, and a mentor of many. Tina talks candidly about her role in global health spanning all 6 WHO regions with particular reference to strengthening health systems and human resources as a key component of that. Tina explains her role at the Collaborative Practice Centre in reducing silo’s in healthcare education and practice (take note of the silo-based pun which I was particularly impressed with!). We also venture into the importance of planetary health, and the use of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) as a mechanism of ensuring global harmonisation of global health practice in pharmacy (David Steeb’s reference below). Finally, a special mention and personal acknowledgement of the podcast art by the philanthropic Ollie Brock…. We cover a lot – come and listen!

This episode is part of the Global Health in Pharmacy short course if you want to learn more.
