Smile Re: Quitting pre-reg and restarting next yr?

Stay calm. Don't despair. The job will be different to the pre-reg year if it's anything like teaching. Oops - could be worse! Talk to your tutor in charge. Write down your concerns. Have an independent witness there at the interview. Agree an action plan with SMART targets that aims for modification of behaviour/attitude from both sides. Pre reg tutors seem to have enormous and unregulated power - but don't let this take away all you have achieved in the last 4 years MPharm - it's a damned hard course. I have found the Society, the University and the NPA utterly hopeless. Is there no union that you join as a student as do NQTs in teaching? It is absolutely unacceptable that there is no standardised training procedures for pre reg tutors who may be excellent practitioners, but inadequate pedagogs! Professional bodies should have systems in place that are transparent to all. Finally, remember you will never have to teach Macbeth to bottom set Year 9!
