I loved it too!!!Even though my pharmacist was not helpful at all. I have great staffs around me . So learned lots of things. My pharmacist was so much in to him never took me in any MUR /Smoking cessation consutlation. But still I liked it as I thought still there is something to learn more about people. Only 2months hard work but afterword u never see that ...so I kept my patience n at the end they offered prereg so no complain....even though in my competency he gave me bad marks as he thinks its nt good to gv gd mark...
Looking forward to prereg now lets c wht comes up new!!!

I'm starting my summer placement next week, so I shall let you guys know whether the horror stories are true or not. I also got a Lloyds placement offer this year but had to turn it down as I had already accepted Boots beforehand. Just out of curiosity, does anyone have any experience of Lloyds? How does it compare to Boots?

Just something to share with you, I was serving a customer and he saw my badge, "Pharmacy Undergraduate" so he asked me quite randomly (I didn't know what he was on about at first) 'Are you at Cardiff?'. I said 'No, Hertfordshire.'

He replied, 'Oh. I suppose somebody has to, to keep the numbers up.'

And I'm supposed to show legendary customer care to people like that? Psh.
