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

    • I think i have learnt a lot from my placement. There were many drugs i have not come across in my degree studies yet and i was able to learn about them during the placement, the pharmacist would always tell me about a drug if i asked.
