Too late for pre reg placement

[Percyplum]

Hi There

Ive just completed my 3rd year of a pharmacy degree...and im panicking about pre reg places.

I dont want to do Hospital.......

But I've only applied to Lloyds and Co-op, is it too late to apply any where else?

Im worried I may get stuck w/o a pre reg place nxt yr........

Is there anything else I can do if I have missed the deadline for the major companies?

Any comments appreciated

"Situations Wanted"
Shows the generation gap.
Pharmaceutical Journal 020 7572 2221/2225
classified@rpsgb.org
Microbox and 30 words is £70 plus VAT

This may or may not work so.....

Alternatively - contact the local the secretary of your local branch and see if they know of anyone looking for a pre-reg?

To find your local branch secretary - ask at a pharmacy near you!
Or call the RPSGB.

Anyone got any other suggestions on how to get our "colleague to be" placed?

Just read on the C&D Website
dotPharmacy: latest news
That Nucare are kicking off a pre-reg training scheme

Maybe someone at Nucare knows a pharmacy that needs a pre-reg for 2007-2008?

Hi,

Try to go to the NPA (The National Pharmacy Association) website, you can register and apply for community placements, some of the closing dates' re until next year.
Don't worry, you will get a place. Good luck.

check your own school of pharmacy noticeboard. you sometimes find independent pharmacies advertising there for pre-reg applications. that's how I got my pre-reg job! that felt like a life-time ago...6 years now

Well I've completed my degree this year and I only started looking for a pre-reg place last week. But I have already been accepted at 2 places and I still have 2 more interviews this week. Basically what I am saying is that you have time. You could phone them directly if you wish. That's what I did (well for independent pharmacies anyway, I don't know about the multiples).
