Since you're the pre-reg you're probably going to have to grin and bear the unifrom choice (unless there's enough pharmacist-rebels who don't wear it). Depending upon the overall attitude of the pharmacy, you may be able to argue your case for wearing a suit after pre-reg.

Dear NT
Many thanks for your reply.
