I have been a pharmacist for 18yrs.
Yes please do not disrespect retail pharmacy.
Most hospital pharmacists would find it much harder in retail and locuming is harder in retail than hospital because all of the techs can help you out if you find it hard - ah diddums!!
SolomonQ you haven't had the experience yet to appreciate fully what i have said but you will in time when all the techs are clinically checking as well!!
The extended extended role of the technician!!
Then there will be no pharmacists in hospital at all and then you will say 'Oh yes he was right after all'
I saw this thing start to happen when i was a pre-reg in hospital and another pre-reg said 'yes i totally agree with you' all those years ago and now it is happening!
When i worked in hospital for the first 3 years of my career i stocked up the ward and clinically checked all of the charts and dispensed the drugs back in the pharmacy - it wasn't hard at all!
I didnt need a tech in fact they would have been a nuisance!
