Well as you are going to go into a degree in which the typical career pathway is to become a pharmacist, you should look at the attributes of being a pharmacist. And when you are writing a personal statement (assuming you are applying through UCAS), you should integrate those attributes/skills in the statement as it shows the admissions teams in the university that you know what it takes to be a pharmacist.

This link describes the main attributes/skills that are required to be a successful pharmacist:

These are some general skills that universities look for (which would be quite beneficial to include in your personal statement as well):
