Tbh I have not done anything to prepare, and my interview is next week :s-smilie:
I have just been over SJT questions but people I know are going over the pharmacist attributes framework and coming up with examples for each. How about you??
I’m not too sure how effective this will be under interview pressure though.
We need more people to view this thread!!! Lol

I'm doing the same actually. Additionally I'm going over all the work experience I've ever had and making a few bullets as to what I learnt from them.
But yeah lord knows how my brain is going to function under pressure.
Definitely need more views on this thread. There are similar threads from previous years but same situation as this one

One of the pre regs at the hospital I had a placement at said she did no preparation and she was fine. I think it might actually be good to be clear headed

Guys, for the 3 minutes preparation time we get at the start, is it for scenario based question or behavioural question?
And do we get time to prepare for each question?

3 mins is only for scenario questions. The behavioural ones dont get prep time and I believe are asked straight after the scenario questions
The six exercises will be undertaken across three rooms, with two exercises sat one after another in the same room. Each exercise will be five minutes in length with three minutes preparation time before entering each room. Within the three minutes, you will be provided with information to help you to prepare for the first exercise you will complete when entering each room. After completing that exercise, you will move straight onto the second exercise within that room which does not require any preparation ahead of it.

You are the preregistration pharmacist at your local community pharmacy. One day, a concerned parent asks about whether she should have her child vaccinated, because she heard there was a risk of developing autism. How would you respond?

yeah definitely confidentiality and pick out some words from the professional attributes framework. For example, reassure patient that her information will be confidential, actively listen to her concerns. ensure 2 way dialogue
