The Purple Pen Podcast is a fortnightly discussion about clinical pharmacy in Australia. Each episode is an interview with someone interesting - a mix of clinical and practice topics. The podcast is aimed at Australian clinical pharmacists but many of the topics have broad appeal.

The title of the podcast comes from the colour pen that Australian hospital pharmacists traditionally use for annotating drug charts and prescriptions.
