    Why don't pharmacy departments have windows?

    Why don't pharmacy departments have windows?

    Of all the many conundrums of hospital pharmacy, this is possibly one of the greatest - why are most of them designed with terrible offices and no windows? Just in time for your summer holiday, this is the pharmacy / architecture crossover podcast episode you never knew you needed but now can't live without. Covering Florence Nightingale, germ theory, the birth of the NHS, the Linstead and Noel Hall reports, plus the omnipresent and omni-malevolent Toyota method, this is a whistle stop tour through pharmacy history to try to explain this most puzzling fact.

    How to think about... SPCs

    How to think about... SPCs

    What's the plural of "Summary of Product Characteristics"? Summaries of Product Characteristics, or Summary of Product Characteristicses? Just one of the many questions this podcasts doesn't answer (because it's only 8 minutes long and about pharmacy stuff so there's loads of stuff outside the bounds of the podcast). But if your question is "how should I think about SPCs, and what are their benefits and limitations," then you've just hit the jackpot by finding this podcast! And if that wasn't your question - why not? Listen anyway, to find out why it should have been. Enjoy!

    How To Think About... Volume of Distribution

    Just when you thought pharmacy couldn't get more interesting, here we go with a podcast about pharmacokinetics basics. What is a volume of distribution, what does it mean, and why should we care? All this and even more epic stuff! Hold onto your hats, kids - this is going to be a wild one! Give it a listen and see if exceeds your (low) expectations! (We've tried to keep it to under 7 minutes to compensate for the subject matter)
