Research how pharmacy in secondary care is organised.
If you don't know already start on some basic medicines law, some basic calculations involving medicines and roughly what pharmaco-therapeutic groups medicines fall into.
Make sure you come over as a friendly, non-panicky, confident person who can fit in.
Sometimes its hard to fit in with some of the folk in hospital pharmacy (at least it was when I tried).
Also make sure you have some interests outside work - they love to ask you about those.
Where am I?; In the Pharmacy.
Who are you?; The new Number 2.
Who is number 1?; You are number 6.
What do you want?;..................
