Picture this scene: Chloe and her daughter, Sarah, are preparing for a relaxing Sunday in the park. They pack a picnic, put on sunscreen and head out. Chloe recently got a tattoo, so she was careful not to expose it to the sun. After a nice day out, they head back home. Sarah plays with her toys and Chloe takes a relaxing bath, using her favourite skincare products. Do either of them know that the EDQM, thanks to its consumer protection activities, was looking out for them every step of the way? From food contact materials and cosmetics to tattoo inks and special guidelines to protect children, the EDQM strives to protect consumers from toxic and unsafe substances. François-Xavier Lery, Head of the EDQM Pharmaceutical and Consumer Care Section, tells us how.Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
This episode showcases the relationship between the EDQM and its national and international stakeholders, how they work together for the protection of public health and what the real-life results of that co-operation are. Four guests, active in the EDQM constellation of health sector bodies and networks, present different aspects of this work: Salvador Cañigueral, Chair of the European Pharmacopoeia Commission, Massimiliano Conti, Chair of the GEON Advisory Group, Anne Garnier, Scientific Programme Manager in the EDQM’s European Pharmacopoeia Department, and Marie-Laure Hecquet, EDQM Policy Advisor. Their insider perspective on the European public healthcare landscape brings a complex system within easy grasp, helping us all understand how the EDQM is striving for better health, for all.Hosted by Ausha.

EDQM on Air - Transplantation – A story of hope and courageInterview with Liz SchickLiz Schick, president of the World Transplant Games Federation, shares her deeply personal and truly inspirational story. Diagnosed with a life-threatening liver disease at 35, she found the courage to look for the good in a negative situation, not only recovering from a serious medical condition, but using the second chance life had given her to help other transplant patients of all ages. She discusses her reactions to her first diagnosis, the documentary a friend made of her pre- and post-transplant life, and what it means to her to keep active and do good in the face of adversity. She also shares her experience as a speaker at the EDQM’s 60th anniversary conference in June 2024.Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
