Default Re: Just a couple of questions.. (with regards to study and pharmacy)

Thanks for your replies so far, I appreciate it.

Well I've always been interested in the health sector and I like the idea that i will be able to provide help to those that are in need... even if they are appreciative or not. I may be quite young and inexperienced but I've came into contact with plenty of rather rude patients/customers. Although it can be sympathised with in a majority of cases.

Actually, I was interested in studying Medicine up until I found a work experience placement at the Pharmacy. After the week or so was up, I was asked whether I wanted to continue my experience as a Saturday boy. Since then I've grown interest in Pharmacy and after speaking to several locums and our ex-Manageress, the course itself sounds interesting along with the experience of university. However, some of the Locums I have had the pleasure of talking to have advised me to look elsewhere for numerous reasons, most of which are highlighted through some of the opinions on this forum (i.e. the wage, the hours, the patients, the doctors, their job being phased out by ACTs etc etc)

Again, thankyou.
