Pharmacy Summer Placement student Review

the staff in the pharmacy were always willing to help. Although the store is a very busy one, the staff here did not mind showing me how things were done and they always had a smile on their faces. Was an absolute pleasure working with them.

whenever any decision had to be taken, i was always involved. they tried their best not to make it obvious that i was working with them for just 6 weeks. they made me a part of their family.

the tutors and Pharmacist organised regular tests for me to make sre I was up to standard with the working policies and other requirements for working as a pharmacist. where I was not up to standard, they always offered the help and support they thought i required.

the store was very busy but it made working in this environment much more fun. it also gave me the right opportunity to learn things that would be useful for my future career.

i was responsible for my learning and it was also my responsibility to identify what needed doing and did it.

i was opportuned to work with pharmacists with good amount of experience and the information i was able to gather from them would definitely last for ever.

it was always fun going in to work because there was never a day where I did not learn something and never a day when the staff did not have something to laugh about.

my assigned tutor was away for the latter part of my internship, therefore was a slight confusion on who was going to mark my workbook. this however made me more responsible in making sure my work was done early enough for on of the other pharmacists i had spoken with to be able to mark my work.

the questions set in the workbook provided by the company ws very relevant to placement. this helped me channel my learning so that the important parts werent left out.

although i dont have a job with them yet, but I would be very willing to return to this company and work for them at any point.

the colleagues were willing to go to a leaving diner for one of the staff memeber who was changing jobss.

transpotation from home to work was relatively cheap. there's a grocery store and some bakery arond the store and therefore it was not expensive to live in that area.

i did not have any reason to have a night life in this area. i finished work earlier in the evening and went back home.

my placement lasted just six weeks and dring this period, we just had the leaving dinner for our memeber of staff. however, the staff in the store always spoke of times when they went out as a group.
