    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • It has been the most fantastic placement experience I have ever had. Apart from having an insight on how pharmacy works in real life, this opportunity gave me a chance to put my knowledge into practice. I got myself involved in every work stage and learned new things every single day.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I was being treated equally just like everyone else at work despite the fact that I am on a temporary basis. Colleagues are friendly, warm hearted and welcoming. We get along with each other very well and work together as a team. We made fun with each other sometimes and had good laugh throughout the day.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • He has been an awesome tutor who gave me valuable guidance and advices on work related issues. He himself as well has worked as a good practicing pharmacist and I take him as a role model that could have a big influence on my practice in the future.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • It is a place with massive workload and I found it could be challenging especially when various issues going around at the same time, but needed to be dealt with as quick as possible to take care of customers need.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was well trusted to not only shadow the pharmacist, but also in charge in particular issues, e.g. dispensing, sign posting, contacting the prescriber, stock counting and ordering, medicine wastes, drug addiction etc.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • They will be very valuable for both my degree and future career in a lifetime. I have kept all learning points that I gained from the placement on file for future reference.
