Pale and stale: decolonising the pharmacy degree

The PJ Pod

Over the past few years, pharmacy student Adanna Anthony-Okeke has been leading a project to "decolonise" the curriculum at the University of Nottingham’s school of pharmacy. In this episode, we speak to her and MPharm course leader Helen Boardman about how this work has led to significant and ongoing change to the syllabus. Clinical and science editor, Julia Robinson, also investigates the progress being made in universities across the UK to make the pharmacy degree more inclusive. Robinson also speaks to Vini Lander, director of the centre for race education and decoloniality at Leeds Beckett University, to find out what decolonisation means within the context of the healthcare sciences and where this movement might be heading in the future.
