Hello everyone, A bit about myself. I'm 25 years old and graduated from a good London University with a 2:1 in Anatomy in 2006. I also used to be a medic, studied that for 4 years, but failed my end of year exams twice hence had to leave the course. Something that I probably shouldn't declare. In terms of drugs and patient contact, I have an abundance from 2 years of clinical medical training and working in the health sector now as OT assistant. My career is going nowhere particulary in terms of progression and financially. I feel my understanding of pharmacology from medicine is exceptional, and i find it fascinating. Thus I'm looking into Pharmacy based on interest on drug therapeutics and financial incentive. Any advice on applying ? Is it to late at the age of 25 ? Were there lots of graduate student when you guys studied at school of pharmacy? Is it really competetive to get into pharmacy, particularly School of Pharmacy and Kings ? I don't really want to declare I failed medicine? Is that a good idea or should i state it and say what i learned from it? Is it a good profession to enter at the moment? I have loads of questions for pharmacists as i want to get into the profession, but i need to find out about it in good depth. Sorry about the number of questions?
