Did my pre-reg in hospital. I actually enjoyed it. After a summer placement at Boots, I knew I couldn't stomach community pharmacy as a full time career.

Hospital was good because there was variation. The maximum time I spent on one rotation was about 6 weeks. I wasn't stuck in the dispensary for very long actually and hit the wards fairly soon after I started.

I'd recommend hospital pre-reg to anyone because you can change to community if you want afterwards and it won't require much training. I made sure i paid a lot of attention to my 4 weeks cross-sector placement and so I went into locumming in community on my first day as a qualified pharmacist.

Good luck.
