Imagine getting medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy all in one room, hashing out the real challenges facing frontline healthcare – that's exactly what we do today.

In this debut episode of Let's Talk Health, I bring together Dr Eddie Crouch, a dentist with 42 years' experience and chair of the British Dental Association, and Dr Steve Taylor, a practicing GP for 30 years and co-lead for Doctors' Association UK.

As a pharmacist with 20 years at the patient-health system interface and CEO of the Independent Pharmacists Association, I loved bringing together this conversation – we dive into the shared struggles, innovative solutions, and how empowering our professions could transform care for everyone.

What We Explore

- Frontline Realities: The daily battles each pillar faces – from dental access crises to GP burnout and pharmacy funding squeezes.

- Collaborative Solutions: How uniting our voices could fix systemic gaps, like better integration and policy changes that put patients first.

- Empowerment for Impact: Why giving professionals the tools and autonomy we need is the key to truly transformative healthcare.

This conversation left me hopeful - we've got the ideas, now let's push for the system to let us deliver.

If you're in healthcare or care about it, share this episode with a colleague or policymaker and help us shape the agenda.
