Pharmacy Pride: Inclusive Leadership and Learning Series (PPILLS)
Patient safety, experience and outcomes – why recognising your unconscious bias is integral to pharmacy practice
Session details
In this thought-provoking session, we will be exploring how unconscious biases shape the experiences of pharmacy professionals, influence workplace culture, and impact the care patients receive. Through an examination of diversity, inclusion, belonging, and equity, the session highlights the real-life consequences of bias, from workforce inequalities to differential health outcomes and why addressing these issues is essential for a safe, compassionate, and culturally competent profession. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of intersectionality, learn to recognise different types of unconscious bias, and explore practical strategies for fostering inclusive behaviours, allyship, and microaffirmations in everyday practice. Grounded in current data and lived experience, this session empowers pharmacy professionals at all levels to reflect, challenge assumptions, and contribute to a more equitable and inclusive healthcare system.
