Fifteen years ago, Pharmacy U launched with a vision to ignite possibility in a profession on the brink of transformation. Today, pharmacists stand at the centre of some of the most meaningful shifts in healthcare - expanded scope, deeper patient relationships and a renewed commitment to care that is human. In this keynote, Dr. Danielle Paes takes us on a personal and collective journey - celebrating the extraordinary progress of the last 15 years, confronting the realities and opportunities of the next 15 and challenging  each of us to lead with authenticity, courage and heart. Through personal stories, hard-earned insights and a fresh vision for the future, Danielle challenges pharmacists to embrace authenticity, claim their influence and step boldly into a system desperately in need of their voice and expertise. Pharmacists will leave with renewed energy, a deeper sense of purpose and practical strategies for bringing humanity back into every interaction. Because the future of healthcare needs pharmacists - not just for what we do, but for who we are.
