I suppose they have their own website for the recruitment. If you don't mind, may I ask if you are joining the multiple or independent for your pre reg training?
Do the pre-reg employers ask for UK references? It is not possible to get one as I have never worked in the UK prior to OSPAP. Also, pre-reg application starts way before the commencement of OSPAP. So, almost impossible for a non UK graduate to provide a UK university reference..... I believe many foreign pharmacists out there face the same issues... |
When they start putting on places for this year Pharmalife deletes all the old accounts and there is no point in me making a new one. References are one of the biggest hurdles in getting a pre-reg place, but I expect employers will accept a non UK employer and non-UK tutors if you have no choice. I just mentioned that because it was a problem many of us had, there is no answer for everyone. I think you just have to find the people who will give you the most relevant references in your own situation, it helps if they have email and a working postal system. I seem to remember something about there being pre-reg places at

I am doing a hospital pre-reg, always worked in hospital, I just like the environment.
