Anyone who missed their grades, e.g. for dentistry/medicine usually and had pharmacy down as a reserve, you must read this thread and the other ones about how it is right now in the real world of pharmacy, after Uni and pre-reg.
No-one wants to be negative, but it's important you understand the problems in pharmacy these days, before you commit 5 yrs of your life and 36 thousand pounds to qualify in summer of 2023 and then decide you didn't really want to do pharmacy after all !! And then decide to go straight into Graduate medicine or whatever!!
So please read this thread and have a think before you start phoning Unis in Clearing. Remember, Unis are a business now, they want your 36k. They don't have your best interests at heart. Only you do!!
Good luck everyone.
P.S. I took a year out after A levels after missing my grades, and initially I felt bad, but I realised later it was a good thing, to wait a year and then do pharmacy, rather than jump into a science degree thru Clearing that I realised I didn't want to do a week after results !! and I did want to do pharmacy after all! Take your time in making decisions !
Happy to answer questions or PMs.
