Default dying trade

Hi Elaine
Pharmacy is what you want it to be
It could be dying or vibrating with life
Good clinical pharmacy advice on OTC and prescription products should not be taken lightly
I know sometimes we might feel like tablet counters,but there is a lot more to pharmacy than that,for instance clinical checks on prescriptions, quite a few of my colleagues have thrown this out of the window.
Some patients have been dispensed 2 PPIs at the same time,high doses of amiodarone and so much more, we are the safety nets,and we have a very important role to play in the healthcare chain.
Don't give up yet,give pharmacy a chance,stop seeing it as a tablet counting profession,because it is not.Perhaps a post grad in medicines management might help you see things differently
:lol:
