Hi Peter,

That's great to hear you're aiming to study pharmacy at university!
Along with the books previously mentioned you could have a look at online journals and magazines which would help you keep up with updates and changes in the pharmacy world.
For example, you could have a look at the Pharmaceutical Journal 'PJ' , Pharmacy Magazine and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society 'RPS' for more information around pharmacy, something you could incorporate into your personal statement.

I hope this of some help!
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions :smile:
