pharmacy personal statement

i have applied to pharmacy, as a dental applicant, and the university has requested a separate personal statement outlining my interest in pharmacy. as i don’t have any pharmacy related work experience, would it be acceptable for me to mention my work experience in a dental practice and how some things i observed there are applicable/similar to pharmacy (eg multidisciplinary team?)

You dont need specifically 'Pharmacy' w/ex - you do need evidence of common-sense, awareness of different patients, communication skills, confidentiality, the structure of the NHS, NHS values etc etc. So yes, you can use some 'Dent' examples to illustrate this. Make sure you also include stuff about your interest in medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry etc.
