How Emily Shears MPS made her passion her profession

For former athletics star Emily Shears MPS, combining sport and pharmacy was always the plan. The question was how. 

After owning two pharmacies and working as a locum, she eventually found the answer, launching the Female Athlete Network (FAN) last year. Through FAN, and her role as a wellbeing lead with the AFL NAB League, Emily helps female athletes to better understand their physiology and use this to achieve peak performance.

In this episode of Pharmacy & Me, Emily speaks with hosts Peter Guthrey and Hannah Knowles about how she combined her passion with her profession, the transferable skills pharmacists possess and the gaps in women’s healthcare she’s trying to fill.
