pharmacist lawyer regulatory work

[prereghelper]

i seem to hear more and more about pharmacist going on to do law and specialising in regulatory work, or working for legal departments in drug firms like gsk or mhra.

anyone heard about this or is doing this?

[vanquish s]

Yes definately is possible. You can apply for the solicitor conversion course. I think it takes 2 yrs. Although another option is to train as a patent attorney Here is the careers profile so that you can find out more. Patent agent: Job description and activities | Prospects.ac.uk

sounds like an interesting job but law is rather competitive right.

[vanquish s]

Yes but so are all good things im afraid. From pharmacy, medicine, densitry to competetive sports.

Looks as though the prevalent school attitude about all being winners because poor Johnny must not feel a failure is seeping into general culture.

Communism was founded on equality, not long before some became more equal than others.

The 'peter' principle applies. We all rise to the level of our own incompetence.

Nature is red in tooth and claw and so is life. The meek shall inherit the earth does not happen very often.
