As an occupation at the very epicentre of healthcare, the nurse is a constant and iconic presence. In this edition of PharmaTimes, we demonstrate how this reassuring and essential presence within our industry's ecosystem continues to evolve. Talking of evolution, we will also fearlessly segway into the all-encompassing era of AI. Once a vague conversation, but now an often inspiring but slightly daunting reality, the robots are here to stay! In addition, we check out pharmacovigilance, dissect Keir Starmer, explore clinical trial data, peruse patient access and much, much more!
