Hey guys! just wanted to make a thread about pharmacy prereg applications, has anyone heard back from anyone? Any summer placements?

Also how does everyone feel about london collaboration on pharmalife this year?

Hello dear, I see you mistakenly opened three threads, maybe you should delete the other two so people do not get confused. I believe London, South East and Thames Valley are doing the regional collaboration thing this year. I really cannot complain because it means more choices for us. However, competition will be steeeeeep and only the best people will get chosen. But such is life.

thanks! I've flagged them for deletion. Yes, i've heard the london collaboration interview process is pretty hard 3 tests and depending on how well you score overall is how your preferences will be allocated. Seems pretty tough.

Have you applied for any community places? :smile:

Yeah I have applied to Lloyds, Boots and Wells!

All of the collaboration ones are going to be tough. It is just a matter of practising interview techniques I guess.

Boots said they will get back to everyone in May, hopefully its good news for us both! Good luck!

Yes, I still haven't decided whether I want to do a hospital prereg or community right now im leaning towards community. Just going with the flow.

I don't know. I hope I do, it just seems strange that they have changed the status online but not sent any emails or anything through. I tried phoning HR but they are not picking up.

Hey! My status has also changed to "under offer" I came on here hoping to find the answer!

Under offer in the world of property buying means that an offer has been made on a property and they are waiting for it to be accepted, so it could possibly mean they have made us an offer and are waiting for us to accept it?

Not sure though! Fingers crossed!

Under offer sounds like they are making an offer.. but with no emails sent out its hard to tell..

I hope it is good news

I want to do hospital but i don't think i will get in, so i don't want to go through the application process and just be disheartened.

Also, for hospital you need to reject community placements and then wait to get a response from hospitals...

So its a risk you need to take. Not sure...

how about you?
