How can a pharmacist support you in pregnancy & postpartum? We find out!

Caroline Ficca is a pharmacist and a mum of two young girls. Caroline is committed to making health information practical & accessible through her work in community pharmacies & health education.

We learned SO much from this chat with Caroline and we know you will too! Think a pharmacist only dispenses medication? Well, this episode will change the way you think!

We speak with Caroline about what a pharmacist’s job actually involves, the support they can offer at each stage of the pregnancy journey, from conception to postpartum to common childhood ailments, when you can see a pharmacist vs when you need to see a doctor, vaccinations, colic, nappy rash, and lots more!
