‘They become more and more sophisticated over time’
AJP Podcast host Carlene McMaugh discusses cybersecurity in 2026 – including why pharmacists need to consider themselves data stewards She sits down with PSA’s digital health lead and pharmacist Jarrod McMaugh to discuss everything from why criminals target small businesses, how to tell the difference between a legitimate communication from a GP or wholesaler and a data theft attempt, and pharmacists’ obligations to their patients when it comes to privacy. The two discuss why the greater amount of data now collected and shared could leave a “back door” open to cyber threats – and why you should never pay a ransom if you’ve been targeted. Highlights include 01:03 – Why is community pharmacy a high-value target for cybercriminals? 02:52 – Protection and prevention 06:25 – The common weak links in pharmacy digital infrastructure 07:58 – Spot the difference: legitimate requests and data theft attempts 10:31 – Pharmacies’ responsibilities under the Australian Privacy Principle 11 13:28 – Legal and professional obligations if a breach occurs 20:34 – “Every health service in the country must have a policy around their access to My Health Records.” 23:33 – Privacy considerations around the Pharmacists Shared Medicines List 27:01 – The top three non-negotiable digital hygiene habits 28:53 – The role of software vendors 31:49 – How do shared records raise privacy and cyber threat concerns? 33:42 – The role of professional indemnity insurers 36:21 – The role of the PSA You can access the full transcript of this podcast here.

Frontline workers critical to AI use in healthcare
Decisions around the adoption of AI in healthcare need input from those who will be using it, hospital pharmacist Ella Shearing says AJP Podcast host Carlene McMaugh sits down with clinical pharmacist and Locumate marketing and brand manager, Ella Shearing, to discuss the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in pharmacy. A survey conducted by Shearing at a Sydney hospital found pharmacists were receptive to using the new technology (2 minutes 30), but understanding of AI was mixed (3:26). Shearing noted that while AI is already being used by pharmacists and other health practitioners for administrative tasks (7:03), decisions regarding how it is implemented need to take the views of frontline workers into account (16:13). “Just because we can adopt AI tools doesn’t mean we should,” Shearing told McMaugh (17:12). Highlights include: 3:35 – Environmental costs of AI not well understood 9:25 – Barriers to taking AI into the clinical space 10:41 – Lack of transparency around AI software fuels hesitancy among some pharmacists 13:16 – High costs mean AI is unlikely to replace existing drug interaction software 14:25 – Integrating AI into electronic medical record systems (EMRs) “could be quite useful” 21:15 – AI could be used to generate medication charts for patients to take home and for providing information about Webster pack changes with patients’ community pharmacies 22:15 – The best way to learn about AI is to use it 25:12: Development of guidelines and policies will be key to ensuring the safe and ethical use of AI in healthcare settings 26:14 – Pharmacists currently using AI are conservative about how they use it.

‘Step fully into your role as a prevention leader’
Vaccination will always be the “inaugural proof point for full scope,” says the Vaccination Pharmacist In this episode of the AJP Podcast, host Carlene McMaugh sits down with Anna Theophilos, who takes listeners through her journey into an educator on social media – and how to cut through misinformation about vaccines. Discussing the importance of communicating about the risks of influenza, especially for people aged over 50, and RSV, Theophilos says that the public already know and trust pharmacists as vaccinators. “What needs to shift is not necessarily public perception, but it’s the system’s willingness to formally recognise what pharmacists already are, which we are immunisation leaders,” she says – noting that this also means appropriate remuneration and a new look at vaccinating outside community pharmacies. Highlights include 01:23 – Theophilos’ mission 02:10 – From a “very sad Facebook page” to effective social media communication 04:30 – Where Theophilos gets ideas for content 05:45 – “I actually think the public is already ahead of the system on this one.” 09:04 – How she plans to work with the PSA to advocate for legislative change to support pharmacist immunisers 10:10 – System and funding barriers 12:55 – Work in aged care 14:30 – How can a busy community pharmacy integrate high volume vaccination programs without compromising safety or staff wellbeing? 16:49 – Ensuring financial viability 19:38 – High-level discussions 21:40 – Collaborating with local GPs 26:07 – “Vaccination will always be the inaugural proof point for full scope.” 28:19 – Advice for ECPs 30:51 – The most common vaccine myth Theophilos debunks 32:32 – “I’d make every vaccine funded.” 33:27 – A call to action You can access the full transcript of this podcast here.
