🎙️ In this episode of Your Pharmacy Career Podcast 🎙️
Glenn Angel, pharmacist and founder of Pharmacy Halo, joins host Krysti-Lee Patterson to share how questioning everyday processes led him from community pharmacy into tech entrepreneurship.

What sparked the shift?
Not a grand plan but a simple question: 👉 “Why are we still doing it this way?”

What started as frustration with missed orders and paper-based systems became a drive to create smarter, more efficient solutions now used by pharmacies across Australia.

💡 In this episode:
• Turning frontline challenges into scalable solutions
• Innovation beyond traditional pharmacy career paths
• The role of technology in improving pharmacy operations
• Why questioning “the way it’s always been done” matters

From community pharmacy to building national tech solutions, this episode highlights how diverse and dynamic a pharmacy career can be.

Updated training is available | Long-Acting Injectable Buprenorphine Explained

Long-acting injectable buprenorphine is increasingly used in Australia as a treatment option for opioid use disorder, with evidence supporting improved adherence, reduced diversion risk, and continuity of care compared with daily dosing regimens.

This updated course supports pharmacists to build awareness of LAIB and to upskill to provide this service within their pharmacy, where authorised. The training reflects current Australian practice and regulatory considerations and has been developed by subject matter experts.

The course is provided free of charge to PSA members, supported by Camurus, and offers pharmacists access to the most up-to-date LAIB training available in Australia.
