No, a 'registered pharmacist' is a 'pharmacist'. You cannot call yourself a pharmacist unless you have: (a) your pharmacy degree*; (b) have completed your pre-reg year and been signed off by your tutor and have passed your exam.
If you just have a pharmacy degree alone then you are NOT a pharmacist. With just the pharmacy degree you are someone, like thousands of other graduates, who hold a general science degree. (i.e. you can not call yourself a 'pharmacist')
Yes...you're right...there's plenty of options if you don't pass pre-reg (although 99% of people do)....and most of the options are far more enjoyable than pharmacy. Heh heh.
* Yes, the pharmacy degree does not necessarily have to be from UK...can be overseas.
