About this Event

While working in Ph*rm*cy could involve being based in the community, you’ll discover that this critical healthcare role is much wider than you might first think.

You might be based in a GP surgery, health centre, clinic or nursing home supporting GPs and nurses. Or in a hospital, participating in ward rounds to take patient drug histories and speak to patient families.
You might be preparing injectable chemotherapy medicines in a sterile, controlled environment or preparing intravenous feeds for babies born too early.
You might be carefully managing the prescription of antibiotics, or a specialist supporting patients living with HIV to take anti-retroviral treatments safely and effectively.
You might have gone to university or gone down an apprenticeship route straight from school.

Meet our team, learn about different options, get tips on applying and find out if Ph*rm*cy is the career for you!<h4>
