I hoped I wasn't, because when I think about the program that pharmacists go through, and the clinical expertise that we have, I had hoped that I would end up being able to utilize my skill set beyond being the medicines expert.

Because I think one of the other things, and it, and it probably is important for me to say is, you know, the dispensing of medicines is incredibly important.

The medicines expertise that pharmacists are able to provide, the conversations we can have about medicines optimization, about interactions and so on and so forth, that's core.

That is core to what we do, and it's incredibly important, but we can do so much more, and we can offer so much more in our local communities.

And to come back and answer your question, I had hoped that I would come out into a world where I could do more than the traditional services.

And I am so happy to see that after a period of probably slower change than some other countries, that actually we have a minister for health and a government who is now accelerating the pace of change in pharmacy to a point where I think we will leapfrog other countries in terms of pharmacists really being that health hub in our local communities.

Um, and all our listeners and people watching today, um, if they were to take one or two tips going into summer from this conversation, what would you be asking them to do?
