NHS v Private
Can anyone enlighten me on the advantages or disadvantages of a career in NHS hosptial pharmacy versus private hospital pharmacy (e.g. BUPA)?
thanx

Very helpful. Thanx.
It seems it's common to get some NHS years in before going into the private sector. But if it's clinical specialisation you're after stick with the NHS. If it's management opportunities, or you don't want to be tied down by a budget then go private.

No problem, glad i could help.
The pathway for NHS pharmacists is really good at the minute, and if you are more interested in bettering yourself and using your knowledge for the better of the patient than being a money grabber and getting the best wage you can, stick to the NHS.
After your training year you do a clinical diploma, then you can specialise in a certain area of illness (eg: oncology), from there you can become an supplementary and independent prescriber meaning you can change a patient's drug chart without having to concact the Dr.
Finally, if you want to go further there are a wide range of management positions in NHS hospital pharmacy. Not only that but you can work on drug trials too.
