    Re: Hi

    Unkind reply would be, return to Hungary. But I know that the whole world dreams of coming to England and so would I if in your shoes. I have met a couple of very nice young Hungarian pharmacists in East Anglia. One works at Addenbrookes hospital.

    I suggest you contact Lloyds as they have an induction course for EU pharmacists. However, you may have to travel or change address. Also Google for UK Hungarian pharmacists, they may have a group.

    In 1956 I was a student at SOP London and we had a Hungarian student who had escaped and come to England. He was a table tennis champion so made very welcome.

    Re: Hi

    As usual, misunderstanding and quick to take offence when none intended. A characteristic of many overseas posters. What I meant was that there is a growing antipathy to Europe in general and workers coming from Europe who are perceived as taking jobs from UK nationals. As I said, I have known two three Hungarian pharmacists and was very pleased to meet them. Always interesting to hear of overseas experience. With the Summer approaching, should be no difficulty in finding work as East Anglia had a shortage of pharmacists recently.

    I note there is a branch in Braintree and also Boots. Borno have a couple of branches.

    They will always be looking for someone to work on a Saturday. Ask if can shadow them for a few hours in the afternoon to become familiar with systems.

    I used to work at a community pharmacy in Ipswich. They were always on the hunt for new Locums to help with covering holidays. If you'd like me to put you in touch then private message me. (I think I left on good terms with them anyway!)
