Pharmacy Work Experience !!

Hi guys, i feel over the moon now because my local pharmacy rang me up to say that they can offer me work experience for the summer holidays !!

has anyone else got any pharmacy work experience under their belt or has anyone been offered pharmacy work experience for the upcoming holidays??

Please do welcome yourself to this thread and comment !!!

Well done. What tasks will you perform?
I tried 14 different stores and an industrial pharmacy company but none offered work experience. You must live in a major city.

I was wondering if actually working in a pharmacy counts as work experience, even if I get paid?

yeah im in north london so thats why xD, just keep on persuing the pharmacies and tell them what you will offer to them and what you expect in return during your work experience. that will show them you are commited

i got kinda lucky with this one placement, loads of applicants applied and the pharmacist reserved a place for me as he knew me for a long while.

im not too sure with the tasks ill be doing , but ill have to confirm that with the guy as ill give him a ring to confirm the arrangements

Thanks. Lucky londoner Are you applying to Uni's next year? If so, which ones are you considering?

yeah next year ill be applying to Huddersfield, UEA, Brighton, Portsmouth and De Montfort, you ???

UEA, brighton, manchester, LSOP and maybe Reading

yeah , it always makes me wonder why London School of Pharmacy attracts so many people, i mean like, wouldnt you rather go to a university for the meeting of more people perhaps? or is LSOP far less than 9k per year ?

I wonder why nobody on this site considers Scotland for uni. £45000+ tuition fee debt is a sharp rise from the £6000+ currently in Scotland.

9K that's a lot of money. I didn't really expect this. I must research on this. Are you sure? I agree it lacks social life, but is a good uni.

Aaah yes, I checked it on their website. I think all the uni's most probably will charge 9k.

I'm not sure where I will apply, I'd like to go to a London one. I am considering LSOP.

What about you?

Umm do you happen to know anything about the University London Union. If you do, please visit my thread. I'm kinda confused. Do you know if its true that a person attending a london university can use the facilities of other London unis, or is this a rumor?

Care to share your opinions of the advantages and disadvantages?

Um.. for me kings is too social, I am afraid that I will get tempted to avoid study, therefore I'm not applying.

Oh you're applying to reading, me too. And LSOP. Unsure about the rest.

yes, I agree with everything that you said. It's a shame LSOP has only pharm students.

Umm do you know any pharm universities that you do not have to pay £9,000 for fees? I've only checked a few. Um portsmouth uni want 8500 which is roughly 9 grand anyway. Also medway want the maximum. =(

Hii
I also live in north london and I really want to do work experience in a phramacy. I have already asked at quite a few phramacies but they have all rejected. So I was wondering at which pharmacy u did ur work experience?? I might go along and ask them if they have any spaces. Thank you

The only reason why I got work experience at my local pharmacy was because my mum knew the owner of the shop for long enough, so he said that otherwise I would have been rejected.

I went to one in wood green, you heard of the area?
