Pharmacy Interviews

I have received interviews from Reading and Hertfordshire for MPharm next month and I was wondering if this response to the question 'what are your professional values?' and I start my answer with 'my professional values match closely with what the GPhC expects', or should I just go straight into my values e.g communication, teamwork. Also any advice on the interviews themselves would be appreciated! :smile:

Hi there

I did my interviews a few years ago so I'm able to offer a little bit of help.

For the question, I think go straight into what values you demonstrate to prevent you from waffling too much and allow you to show how you demonstrate the values. Be sure to look through the Standards of Pharmacy Professional to refer to!

For the interviews themselves I found it really nice and friendly so be sure to do the prep work but don't rehearse too much that it doesn't come out as natural. Make sure you can answer questions like "why pharmacy", "why this university" and just be yourself at the interview. Also look at the structure of the interview and what is involved as some may include chemistry, maths etc.

I hope this helps and all the best for your interviews 😊
