Flu season is very much upon us and a lot of people will have had to go to their local doctors, some even to the emergency department but most will be looking no further than their local pharmacist for the the jab or treatment.

But the role of the pharmacist has changed over the years which is why we thought for this week's industry review we would speak to three individuals who know the business inside out.

Joining Jonathan Healy in studio are:

• Tomás Conefrey, Community Pharmacist at Conefrey’s Careplus Pharmacy

• Eamonn Brady, Owner of Whelehan’s Pharmacy in Mullingar

• Paul Cunningham, MD and owner of Cunnigham’s Pharmacy in Athlone
