Default Re: Pre-Reg trainee Pharmacy Technician

Sorry - this reply might be a bit late for you!

Interview questions:

Why do you want to do to work as a pharmacy tech?
What do you know about pharmacy - don't be afraid to say you knwo very little. If I was interviewing I would appreciate the honesty/candor

Day-to-day basis, I don't have hospital background (assuming from title it is hospital based) but assume it still involves dispensing both within the hospital dispensary and possibly (once more qualified) going out to wards etc

Future options:
ACT (accuracy checking technician) role
Some hospital technicians run warfarin clinics etc at local GP practices
Do an Access course and go to uni to do a pharmacy or other science degree

Check out the white paper - links on other posts on here to it, it's full of ideas that enterprising pharmacists and technicians have done.

Hope this is some help!
