This episode discusses endometriosis- what it is, how it affects women, and the treatment options available. Plus, did you know that even Dolly Parton has shared her experience with endometriosis? Tune in as Dr Nadia sheds light on this often misunderstood condition and the importance of awareness and understanding.

In this episode, Sheila Arquette, President & CEO of NASP, speaks with Mel Nelson, PharmD, CSP, Vice President, Specialty Consulting Services of Fairview Pharmacy Solutions. They discuss how the health system specialty pharmacy landscape has matured over the past decade, and why many organizations are now asking a new question: is our current operating model still the right one for where we want to go next? Mel walks through the key strategic, clinical, and financial factors health systems should evaluate when reassessing accelerator partnerships, the circumstances that might prompt a move toward insourcing capabilities, and how to protect patient care continuity through any transition. The conversation also covers how Fairview Pharmacy Solutions partners with health systems to design and execute successful transitions while building sustainable, long-term internal capability.

What happens when patients need critical medications, but traditional supply channels cannot deliver?

Medicine shortages, global supply disruptions, and unmet clinical needs are placing increasing pressure on healthcare systems worldwide. Behind every delayed shipment or unavailable treatment are pharmacists working tirelessly to find solutions, maintain continuity of care, and protect patients.

In this special episode of the Pharmacy Podcast Network, presented in partnership with Clinigen's Love Your Pharmacist Awards, we explore the essential role pharmacists play in overcoming barriers to medicine access across the United States and Europe.

Our featured guests bring unique perspectives on the challenges and innovations shaping global pharmaceutical access:

Alfred L'Altrelli – Chief Pharmacy Officer, Memorial Medical Center Las Cruces, and recipient of the 2026 Love Your Pharmacist Awards Lifetime Achievement Award. With nearly three decades of pharmacy leadership, Alfred has pioneered initiatives to improve medication safety, expand clinical pharmacy services, and strengthen healthcare access for underserved communities.

Louise Morshead – Pharmacist and Portfolio Director at Clinigen, based in the United Kingdom. Louise brings expertise in navigating global medicine supply challenges, working with suppliers and healthcare stakeholders to help address unmet patient needs.

In This Episode:

• Why medicine shortages and supply disruptions continue to challenge healthcare systems worldwide.
• How hospital pharmacists navigate medication access barriers while protecting patient safety.
• What happens when essential medicines are unavailable through conventional supply channels.
• The importance of international collaboration, innovative sourcing strategies, and continuity-of-care planning.
• How pharmacists in the United States and Europe are adapting to increasingly complex medicine supply networks.
• Why recognizing pharmacy leadership is essential to advancing patient-centered healthcare.

Pharmacists are more than medication experts. They are problem-solvers, patient advocates, and an essential connection between pharmaceutical supply and patient care.

Join us for an international conversation celebrating the pharmacists who go above and beyond to ensure patients aren't left behind when access becomes a challenge.

In this special "Off Script" episode of CPhT Connect, host Mike Johnston, CPhT-Adv, goes solo to speak directly to pharmacists, owners, managers, and anyone who builds the schedule. With World Pharmacy Technician Day coming up on Tuesday, October 20th, Mike shares what technicians told NPTA when asked one question: what would make you feel seen? Last year, 47% of technicians said no one recognized Pharmacy Technician Day at all, and Mike argues that recognition matters for retention, not just for being nice. Drawing on real responses from NPTA members, Mike explains why technicians aren't asking for a party. They're asking their employers to notice. He breaks their answers into two buckets: free recognition that costs only attention and recognition that costs something real, like pay that tracks the credentials, training, and responsibility they carry. Mike also speaks candidly to independent pharmacy owners working with thin margins, and closes with a simple three-step plan to use before October 20th. In this episode, we discuss: * It's a Noticing Problem, Not a Pizza Problem: Why the typical Tech Day pizza party is too generic to feel personal and too small to change anything, and why food showed up last on technicians' wish lists. * Bucket One: Recognition That Costs Nothing: What technicians said noticing looks like in their own words: don't cookie-cutter the appreciation, be fair, celebrate when they hit the goal, and see the work nobody sees. * Bucket Two: Recognition That Costs Something: Why technicians want pay that reflects their credentials, training, and responsibilities, and why keeping a tech is almost always cheaper than replacing one. * The Hidden Cost of Unused Skills: How training that sits on a shelf creates a morale problem, a retention problem, and a skill you paid for and never used, and why letting techs use what they learn may be the loudest recognition there is. * A Three-Step Plan Before October 20th: Write a specific sticky note for every technician, ask each one what would make them feel seen, and say it out loud to the whole team on Tech Day, then keep going on the 21st with one specific sentence to one tech every week. About Our Host: Mike Johnston, CPhT-Adv, is the founder and CEO of NPTA and founder of BPTS. He has owned his own company since 1999 and has spent more than 25 years helping thousands of pharmacy technicians grow their careers. This episode is part of CPhT Connect's partnership with the Pharmacy Podcast Network. Listen now at CPhTConnect.com to hear why one sentence is all it takes to show a technician you notice them.
