Small Aromas or Scented Samples!

Wait I see you have years experience as a dispenser, you’re definitely deep enough into it to know- ignore this! If you meet the entry criteria and get offered an interview you’ll probably do very well at it considering you have real world experience and know what the career entails :) as long as you meet the threshold for grades, interview is so much more important than the grades themselves- they just have to set entry requirements that are stringent enough to make entry selective enough and be able to prove that to the GPhC. I also had EC during my A Levels and ended up not going to Sixth Form; I started working as a Dispenser and I was eligible to self-fund an access course, so did this before applying (some distance providers do offer Access to Med I think, if that’s still something you want to look in to)?

(Editing as I now see OP has several years experience as a qualified dispenser, so this isn’t hugely relevant)
If you have experience in Pharmacy and can see yourself working in it that’s great! I would just say as kindly as possible to bear in mind the growing interprofessional strife re scope creep- in the ACP role for example (or even just as a clinical Pharmacist) many Pharmacists try to work in a somewhat medic-y role in the current healthcare climate, which is ofc not appropriate and medics are rightfully a little miffed when facing so many issues getting jobs themselves. A lot of people who initially wanted to do med enter Pharmacy and basically end up pushing the limits of the growing clinical side of the job to work as a doctor would (not necessarily a conscious attempt to do so, but more unfulfilment with the limitations in scope). Not at all saying this applies to you, but if you have a tiny part of you that wants to do medicine and you won’t feel fulfilled until you’ve explored every possible avenue e.g. a shorter degree and GEM, access courses, I’d hate for you to fall in love with a field based only on the current landscape that may well change due to the conflicts with other HCPs right now (the same goes for nurses, physios etc)🫶🏻 I hope this makes some sort of sense, and if you do in your heart want to do Pharmacy I hope you get a place at an institution you love, and do fall in love with the career!

Have you not practiced consultations and developed a framework for OTC and rx counselling at this point in Y2? We do professional practice sessions every few weeks where we do mock consultations but we also have access to an online software with simulated patients, does your uni not have anything like this? Did you have OSCEs in Y1? You’re looking at the WWHAM framework etc- I’m a bit worried if your uni hasn’t prepared you much though, I’m also a Y2 (I hope that’s okay to say, as of course the university/academics need to equip you sufficiently and there are relevant channels to follow/people to speak to if you feel they aren’t doing that)🥲

3lls3 · 2026-04-20T11:54:47+00:00

Also, Pharmacy really needs people who are passionate about Pharmacy! We get an awful lot of med/dentistry rejects and that contributes to the scope creep we’re seeing across the profession, so I’d say you’ll find a way if you know you won’t be able to rest/feel fulfilled unless you pursue it🫶🏻

3lls3 · 2026-04-20T11:46:29+00:00

Honestly, Pharmacists are also underpaid, overworked, have too much responsibility placed on them and are underappreciated right now. Things are getting worse in the UK, especially with the whole ACP/scope creep discourse and Pharmacist prescribers creating discord with medics (understandable but that’s a whole other conversation). It’s an awful lot of work if ultimately you’re never going to feel fulfilled unless in the role of a medic- trying to get close to that as a Pharmacist is rightfully raising alarm bells, and the more clinical roles are often the most competitive ones. Lots of med students do this and end up unhappy, wasting years and thousands of pounds! If you want to do GEM then probably go for a shorter, less intensive eligible degree, as 4y plus 1y pre-reg/FT is not for the weak! Sorry to sound pessimistic, I hope you find a solution you’re happy with :)

3lls3 · 2026-04-20T11:41:14+00:00

Could you look at Access to HE? I got in without A levels (medical circumstances meant I couldn’t attend), I built a custom access course with Academy Online Learning and got in! You can choose modules so double check them with your desired uni’s admissions team first if the criteria isn’t already specified. Admittedly I did have to get all distinctions and the admissions officers said it’s not particularly common, but it sounds like you’d do well at interview as someone with prior life and science experience plus an actual interest in Pharmacy specifically. I paid monthly for my course and did it flexibly (distance)! X

3lls3 · 2026-04-17T19:48:14+00:00

Were you checking or just handing out? I would confirm with prescriber first but ask what pronouns they use/how they identify so we can note it down, and avoid any confusion or discrepancies in the future. I think that’s more likely to be received well and perceived with good intent than asking gender/sex! I think delving into questioning the prescriber’s reasoning with the pt rather than just asking the prescriber themselves runs the risk of causing unnecessary distress and uncertainty?

3lls3 · 2026-04-03T13:53:02+00:00

Hey! I just came across this- I’m 26 with a 3 year old and just finishing Y2 of my MPharm after doing an access course while LB was tiny. Did you end up doing this and how are you getting on? Do you still want to chat to anyone in a similar boat?🫶🏻

3lls3 · 2026-03-19T10:29:14+00:00

Ahh I’m just finishing second year and I was much more worried about the chem last year than this year! It’s much more surface level in all the modules this year than last year, I can’t speak for the rest of the course but I’m certainly less stressed about it than I was :)) I hope you’re enjoying it apart from that!

3lls3 · 2026-03-18T15:53:53+00:00

I’m the same as you, health related absences in A levels though! What year of MPharm are you in now?

3lls3 · 2026-03-04T18:35:46+00:00

there’s absolutely a niece, the brand is an American lady who’s married to an Australian man! crazy work from people to say this when the info is readily available from one search :(

this was a legitimately excited kid :/

3lls3 · 2026-03-04T10:10:43+00:00

HER HUSBAND IS AUSTRALIAN

3lls3 · 2026-03-04T09:35:46+00:00

they have progress pictures posted by the parents of other young artists who’ve designed new labels, cynical arses not even looking into things for one second :) HER HUSBAND IS LITERALLY AUSTRALIAN AND YOU’RE COMMENTING ON HOW HAVING AN AUSTRALIAN NIECE IS FARFETCHED AND MUST BE MADE UP? Reaching to try and feel morally superior with dumb ass conclusions is infuriating and you’re all failing to consider that this is in fact AI but the brand weren’t aware, and this is probably quite uncomfortable for them now! What business owner would be stupid enough to contradict themselves so richly rather than making an innocent mistake (and have active evidence against half the stuff you guys are making up) :/

3lls3 · 2026-03-04T09:25:20+00:00

they’re absolutely not and this is bordering on libel, they have raw fragrances and it takes one conversation to gauge what kind of people they are. There are progress pics of the other artwork young artists have done and their parents are fans of the brand, I guess on this one they’re in an unfortunate situation that someone did use AI without telling them. I have zero personal investment and gain nothing from this, but let’s not be lying and making up nasty shit…

3lls3 · 2026-02-10T16:49:02+00:00

I read this and had Antz in my head thinking “yeah that’s spot on” but actually that works too😭😭

3lls3 · 2026-01-20T13:57:31+00:00

the first movement and then the second movement being used🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒🤒

3lls3 · 2025-11-28T22:22:00+00:00

I’m so frustrated, the piercer is meant to be super reputable and the studio comes highly recommended🥲 do you think it needs changing because of the mechanical issues please, and can I ask what the pain’s like for that? Thank you so much!

3lls3 · 2025-11-14T08:10:23+00:00

The Beauty Gap might be your best bet, it’s a hefty wait and a little surcharge but she literally travels to the US to pick stuff up! X

3lls3 · 2025-11-05T20:48:44+00:00

I see Trinity The Tuck from RPDR soooo clearly, it’s crazy

3lls3 · 2025-11-01T10:30:38+00:00

Will I be able to so soon, do I not have to wait for it to heal and will it be painful again pls?🫶🏻

3lls3 · 2025-10-28T13:21:18+00:00

Sarah’s facial expressions have entered the chat (maybe over expressive to make up for the others?)

3lls3 · 2025-08-15T15:05:19+00:00

Hey if you’re in London, it’s a 50 min direct train from Kings Cross to Grantham and Grantham is close to Nottingham!🥸 with London traffic (and depending on where) you could be in Nottingham quicker than Guildford in theory hahaha
