 Starting as a community pharmacist
I am currently half way through completing a hospital pre registration but am considering pursuing community pharmacy as a career.
I am concerned that after completing a hospital pre reg and having competed minimal community pharmacy experience I may need some foundation training before becoming totally competent.
What companies are considered as the gold standard trainers of young pharmacists and how common is a community pharmacy diploma offered as part of training? Are these useful?
In many years I think that I would be interested in owning a community pharmacy, would it be advisable to complete a business course of some kind?
Last but not least, how satisfying is owning your own pharmacy and what salary is an independent pharmacist owning the shop likely to earn?
