Interview at Medway School of Pharmacy next Saturday. What shall I do to prepare?
Hi
I have been called to an interview to Medway School of Pharmacy on Saturday 12th November 2011. So far, after researching people before me, I have an idea of what they are going to ask me such as:
1) Why Pharmacy?
2) Qualities needed by a Pharmacist
3) Why Kent?
4) Work Experience, if any
I have some solid answers regarding what I can answer, but are there any other questions that they can possibly answer?
Thanks

It is a completely informal process. It is more of a chat than an Interview.
Please, if you have any questions, get in contact with me. Good luck!!

Good morning,
With regards to the interview questions, they are very informal.
We are just trying to see your personality, and if you a fit to become a pharmacy student. This should last approximately 15 minutes.
Your test questions will be both Values Based and numeracy based.
Values based questions are defined as:
"The aim of selecting the correct students “on the basis that their individual values and behaviours align with the values of the NHS Constitution” (Health Education England, 2014)These values show:
•
Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity.
•
Commitment to quality of care and patient safety.
•
The ability to work in varied work environments.
•
The ability to work within a team.
•
Commitment to improving lives.
The maths questions are basic maths. If you have the correct GSCE requirement you should do just fine.This is all the information we can give you.
The best of luck!!
Sammi
