Pharmacy with Foundation Year

Health and social care:
1. Allowed you to grasp a deeper understanding of the importance of patient care, empathy and empowerment - this is something that’s not offered in typical A-level subjects such as biology/chemistry etc

2. Certain units will have provided you with some foundation/core knowledge of topics taught in pharmacy e.g (pick a sciencey/biology subject to relate)

Sociology:
1. Healthcare is and should be a right, not everyone has effective access to it. There’s many socio-economic/lifestyle factors which affect health and these are often over looked when evaluating/assessing people with ill health etc. Talk about the different models of health; social/medical. and once again mention studying these subjects has offered you a unique insight into patient care etc.
