I have completed the nv3 and am now registered. With your reports you need to write in as much detail as possible even thought it may seem longwinded as you can start cross references the further you go along your course. With an extemp. prep if you have never made one up a pharmacist can give you a pharmacist assessment however, it is just like making a cake. The easiest prouducts to use would be white soft paraffin and eumovate, calculate what you need and ask the pharmacist how they would do it as they would have covered this in their training.

Apart from the antibiotic the other 2 are going to have to be simulations. I don't understand how I can write about how I make something up when I have no idea how it's made up in the first place.
For the antibiotic all I've got is a couple of lines, hardly a report. I'm not sure whether that is going to be enough.
In the guidance pack it gives examples of dilutions such as rosewater, peppermint water or chloroform water from concentrate. I haven't a clue as to how they are diluted, I've never even seen these products  |
