When does all the clinical knowledge come during community pharmacy? Most people that i have spoken to say it practically none existant, confirmed by some of these threads. The reason im worried is because im at uni, and my clinical knowledge at the moment is also practically none existant, i only know a few things and thats it.
Also, when you finish your pre reg, are you expected to know everything, i've never felt so depressed!

As Jeff mentioned ...there would be loads of clinical interventions ,esp now tha most POMs are being declassified....one even has to be careful with certain GSL sales such as K/Na citrate in patients taking ACe inhibitors
Clinical Pharmacy in community is what you make it....but beware of the mystery shopper....could be someone from Which? years ago quite a few pharmacists were told off for selling ibuprofen to patients on methotrexate!
