RETAINING talent is a challenge for the pharmacy sector, with disillusioned graduates jumping ship in the pursuit of other rewarding careers.

Sapiano made the shift from health professional to undertaker after being made redundant, having seen the job satisfaction her father - who was a part-time mortician - derived from the role.
