Trash Talk: Turning Medication Waste into Meaningful Change
Trash Talk: Turning Medication Waste into Meaningful Change
Join us for a practical and inspiring look at how a group of hospital pharmacists and pharmacy students tackled the surprisingly big problem of medication waste in a hospital system—and actually made a difference. You’ll hear about two smart, low-effort projects: one that uncovered just how much unused medication is going up in smoke (literally), and tested a creative solution to stop the waste, and another that asked over 1,000 nurses what they really think about medication waste (spoiler: they think it’s a problem too). Along the way, you’ll pick up real-world strategies, learn how to avoid potential pitfalls, and gain a healthy dose of motivation. It turns out that fighting waste isn’t just good for the budget and the planet—it’s also pretty rewarding.
