Hi there, I hope you are doing well!
First of all, congratulations on your interview, and second, here are some tips for preparing for your MPharm interviews, just in case you need it
Before anything else, I first recommend that you search up the names of the unis you have applied to with 'MPharm interview', as I’m sure lost unis have a guide to their interview process. You can find Reading University's one here
Now, when it comes to what to do to fully prepare, here is what I recommend:
1.
Prepare for the classic questions of: what is pharmacy about? Why Reading? Why pharmacy? etc.
2.
Do some research on what recent studies and research the university has been involved in related to pharmacy, and recent news regarding pharmacy in the UK.
3.
Search the GPHS standard for pharmacy professionals and get familiar with them, and make sure to use them when answering questions. E.g., in the scenario-based questions, you might use why 'effective communication' is important or about 'person-centred care.'
4.
If you end up talking about any experience you have and what you gained from it, make it so that you emphasize the standards of pharmacy. E.g., you have developed your communication skills, and how that is essential for a pharmacist.
5.
Do some research on the 4 principles of medical ethics, as you could integrate them into your answers.
6.
Do some practice scenario-based questions for pharmacy. You can find some practice ones here (these are for foundation trainee pharmacists, but I think they will still be very useful: https://london.wtepharmacy.nhs.uk/national-recruitment/student-zone/sjt-and-numeracy-tests/
P.S., Don't let any of this stress you out. You don't need to memorise the standard of pharmacy (yet) or the 4 principles of ethics. Just familiarise yourself, and think about how you can integrate them into your answers.
I hope you found this helpful! Please feel free to ask here on TSR (or our unibuddy) if you have any further questions; we’d be happy to help
Kind regards,
Safa
