Is a career in pharmacy worth it?
Hey all,
Just wanted your tips and advice please. I’m considering a career change, just wanted to know if a career in pharmacy is worth it, is it a stable career, can the qualifications required to gain a career be obtained easily. Would finding a job within this sector be easy or hard.

Massively worth it. The role of Pharmacists is changing dramatically with new prescribing powers and this will continue to develop over the next few years. There is a shortage of Pharmacists - no shortage of work!

You will need an MPharm degree to qualify as a Pharmacist.
There are trainee/apprenticeships in other roles within Pharmacy - examples :
Trainee Pharmacy Dispenser in Oundle, Market Place (224197BR) - Boots Jobs
Job Advert (jobs.nhs.uk)
