Ian and Judith Coombes: A Sri Lankan adventure in Pharmacy Education and Research

Professor Ian Coombes and Doctor Judith Coombes are a Pharmacist Dream team from Brisbane, Queensland.

With professional career’s full of leadership, education and research and Personal lives filled to the brim with family, friends and adventure, it is Ian and Judith's long ties with Sri Lanka that we loved hearing about during this conversation.

Judith and Ian have worked tirelessly (and joyfully) over the last 15 years to build capacity within the Sri Lankan health care system: through education and research. These experiences are a true reflection on their passion for Pharmacy and Life. It's impossible not to be inspired and uplifted by their approach to moving their family to Sri Lanka whilst on long service leave and all the places that initial visit has taken them over the years.

We hope you enjoy hearing their story.
