Yep, got the same email

I'm 2nd year too

I just read you applied and got a placement with Wells last year, albeit a negative experience by the looks of things, how did the process go?
I applied this year back in Jan, didn't hear anything so emailed them yesterday, it does seem they a little unorganized.

Yes I did, I applied the day before the deadline in January lol.They got back to me on 12/4/15 (just checked my emails) telling me they were giving me a placement offer and would get back to me soon with the branch details etc.
Don't worry, you'll hear back within the next 3 weeks!.I hope you get it!
The application process was ok - the usual just the actual placement that I didn't like.
Did you apply to any hospitals?

Yes, same, I applied the day before too haha, thank you!
How was the placement like?

I was going to apply to UCL hospitals and Uni of Bham hospitals but missed the deadline, can't remember why though I'm such a last min person :/
Have you applied to any?

Same second year here!
I only applied lloyds and boots this year, but lloyds rejected me recently.
So boots possibly is the only chance for me, I'm quite worry about that...
Has anyone received anything from Boots?
Or is there any interview by phone call?

I got an offer from Lloyds for a summer placement last week! Does anyone know what their pay looks like? I am trying to decide if I should do my final year project over the summer instead....

for 6 weeks work i got paid around £1200ish

Hey, thanks for your reply. If you don't mind me asking, how many days a week did you work? Also, how long was a typical work day?

Got accepted to Boots today

Offer from boots today

I did 5 days a week. I had to to do 10am-6pm on avg as i had 40 hour/week

Ah thanks. Did you enjoy it? Oh and btw, if you've also worked in Boots, which did you prefer?

Yeah it was ok, my store wasnt the best. I had no permanent pharmacist and there were only locums which changed a lot. So the whole point of a structured placement was defeated but even though it was annoying, i did my daily tasks and got paid in the end.

As for Boots, i only have a 2 day placement with them, and I wouldnt even go near them. The worst company to work for. True they might not expect a lot from you as a placement student but there is a motive only for targets and sales rather have a personal touch with the patient.

Yes!! I spent a month working for Boots and it was horrendous ugh! I have this feeling that I may prefer Lloyds. During my placement at Boots, the store manager was really interfering. She was not a pharmacist, I don't even know if she went to uni but she was really target driven and had bad people skills. Atleast in Lloyds, you are sure your superiors would be pharmacists like you that understand the concept of patient safety. Anyway, thanks for all your help. Are you applying to hospital for pre-reg?
