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

    • I felt like a key member of the team even though I was only there for six weeks, I believe this is because the pharmacist trusted me to carry out key roles which was a confidence booster. The staff were all very welcoming and I am still in contact with them after my placement.
