    Talking Re: Introduce Yourself !!!

    Hi. I'm David. I went to Robert Gordon in Aberdeen. I work as a locum and a part-time shop manager. In the 5 years or so I've ben qualified I've found myself more and more and more unhappy with my job. However, my employer and I are working to respark that interest we felt from the really quite good educatioun received at RGU. But I'll keep the moaning to a relevant forum!
    I'm in Glasgow with my partner - not a pharmacist, can you imagine, both of us moaning about retention fees?! - and like to bring a bit of light relief to my life. I've read some of the forums here, I didn't realise there were so many other funny pharmacists out there, it's good to know we don't all live up to the staunchy image of a pharmacist.
    Anyway, look out for my comments here, there....everywhere. I have a lot to say.

    Hi

    Sorry, I've been a bit busy lately so haven't got around to being back on here.

    Graduated JMU in 2003 - seems like it was years ago now but it was only three! Time flies I guess!

    Re: Introduce Yourself !!!

    hi, my names riks. I was wondering if I could get into uni to do pharmacy with my AS level grades. I got A in biology, B chemistry, B economics, C maths. Do I have a good chance of doing pharmacy with theses grades. Or are my grades below par. I also got 5a 5b at GCSE. Can anyone doing pharmacy help me by stating their GCSE, AS and A2 grades. Can you also mention which uni you go to or went to. Nottingham is my first choice. Do I have any chance of getting into a top uni like Nottingham. Thankyou for the help.

    Hey. try this website for an overview of the different schools of pharmacy:
    (copy and paste in address bar if it is not a clickable link)

    Where can I study? - Graduating - Pharmacy Careers

    As to what pass marks you need. Go to:
    (copy and paste in address bar if it is not a clickable link)

    UCAS course search

    There it lists all the schools of pharmacy. You can click on the word 'pharmacy' under each pharmacy schools name and then there is a link to click on called 'entry requirements' then you should be able to follow it from there!

    Happy hunting!

    Re: Introduce Yourself !!!

    Well, thought Id say hello

    Im rapidly approaching 30, originally Welsh and now live in sunny Bournemouth. Qualified in Bath, the last year of the BPharm degree, in 1999.

    I work in the New Forest as a Pharmacist Manager for one of the large multiples, but have a broad variety of experience across various sectors, and most recently several supermarkets.

    Im also, for my sins, an area trainer for NexPhase

    Really good to see a group thats dispelling the stereotypical image of staunchy pharmacists with beards and white coats!

    Hi Petey and welcome to the site

    We are defenitely not staunchy pharmacists with white coats - check out the anything goes section.

    We have a lot of serious discussions and some fun ones. This site is picking up quite a lot, so hopefully they'll be plenty of subjects that interest you.

    Feel free to pick yourself an avatar from the list, or if you want your own just e-mail it to me.

    Have fun!
