    The Role

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

    • At some points during the placement I was put on the till that was furthest away from the pharmacy area. I was a bit dissapointed with this as I was there for a pharmacy placement, I wasn't there to run the tills just because the pharmacy was understaffed at times.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Towards the end of the six weeks I began to feel comfortable where I was working.

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

    • They would happily answer any enquiries I had.

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

    • As the lloyds pharmacy was in a quiet area not in the main town centre it was quiet throughout a lot of moments in the day. I would have preferred it if my placement was at a very busy pharmacy where time would pass quicker and where I would have learnt more.

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

    • 4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Helped me a great deal as I have a dispensing resit to do this summer. Also it has made me a bit more familiar with some of the drugs.
