I think you should: -

Make yourself sound interested in the subject and job
have plenty of hobbies listed (always have a sporty one, and an intellectual one!)
show you are interested in health care
try to show you are a caring person and want to help people
try to show you get along with people - have you ever been on any committees etc
show you are a social person and will make the most of that side of uni
show you are interested in developments in pharmacy - maybe pick a topic off the forum that's current news, or get a copy of the PJ and use something from that - the recent 50% increase in fees is a hot topic

These are just off the top of my head, but think what would make you like the sound of a candidate if you were reading these and picking people!
