Talking Meds Episode 35. Looking ahead to 2026 in the world of medicines and prescribing

Jonathan welcomes back three former guests to look ahead to 2026 and they give us their thoughts on what might happen in terms of medicines and prescribing.

Philip Newland-Jones  joined us back in April 2025 for Episode 16 where we discussed the management of obesity. Philip is a Consultant Pharmacist in Diabetes and Endocrinology and is the Clinical Director of the Diabetes and Endocrine service at University Hospitals Southampton NHS Foundation Trust

Minna Eii joined us in May 2025 for Episode 18 to tell us about her work tackling the sustainability challenges in medicines.  Minna is a hospital pharmacist based in the northeast of England. She is the co-founder of Pharmacy Declares and the lead author of the RPS Greener pharmacy toolkit.

And who could ever forget when the fantastic Dr Lucy Pollock joined us for the Talking Meds series on sensible prescribing in older people with Jonathan and Lucy? If you haven't listened then you have missed a trick! Lucy  is a consultant in care of older people in Somerset and an acclaimed author of two fabulous books!
