Pharmacy work experience in year 10?

I am pretty sure they will allow you to carry out work experience there. I would suggest going to a pharmacy and ask them if they have any opportunities for you to carry out work experience. Make sure to have your CV and personal statement preparing if they require it (they usually won’t )If they say no work experience go to another. If you have tried so many pharmacies I would say you should try and get some medical related work experience. Although at this stage it is not necessary, as you are only going to apply at sixth form, so it would just be better if you had something. When you go to sixth form, I would suggest carrying it out at a pharmacy, as you will need relevant experience for uni.

Hope this helps and if you need anything else ask away

I did work experience at a pharmacy, I emailed a bunch and the only one to accept me was a Peak Pharmacy. I was in year 12 at the time so was 16, so I'm not sure if they would be willing to also take in year 10s but it's probably worth trying them

hi i'm a year 10 student looking for a 5 day work experience placement in june as part of our subjects, and since i'm interested in becoming a hospital pharmacist i was thinking (ofc) to go to a pharmacy... however due to the nature of the job i'm not sure if this is possible. does anyone know of any companies (rowlands, lloyds, etc) that take in gcse students? or if you've done a placement in one yourself, what tasks did they put you to and did you get anything out of it?

i was thinking boots would be the next best option even though i'd probably be more on the retail side, but their website faq says they aren't currently offering it 🫤 if nothing works out i think i'll just go to a charity or other retail shop

this is my first time posting on tsr so im sorry if im posting this in the wrong place 🥲 i'd appreciate any help lol
thanks!

If you’re still active on here, do you remember where you got the email addresses for the pharmacies from? I tried to look on the website of my local Peak pharmacy and it just has the generic stuff, nothing about how to contact that specific pharmacy. Or did you contact the company instead??
