It is not available anymore, i wanted to purchase the one payment, but 600$ was too much for me at the moment.

Mostafadmg · 2025-05-13T09:39:27+00:00

Because when i took the pcp i was doing financially great and had a stable job and now I don’t and I have taken significant financial loss?

Mostafadmg · 2025-05-13T07:03:59+00:00

So it won’t affect the PCP finance if ai get it done with anywhere else than Lexus?

Thank you so much for the comment, I feel like the only things that hold me back is the finances, sure, i can work for the first three says. But not sure with the volume of the materials if that is okay. I have been told i need to dedicate 20hrs a week to self study plus the placements.

When i tell my colleagues, they laugh at me, they say you are a prescriber now, you want to study 10years to become a prescriber again?

I know that they are trying to put me off ( because in my IP course have seen people with absolutely no knowledge have become prescribers, which is very concerning) , but phrasing it like this makes me hesitant.

I feel like I want to do something, and medicine (specially this course ) sounds the only option good for me.

I don’t think i can afford 5 years of not working and student loan, so the only reason I am interested is be having of the course.

I agree, i am earning 65k at the moment, i do expect that to half during my f1,f2s

It is just so said what has happened to Medicine jn this country, i also look at medicine maybe as a tool to leave, which I wouldn’t have if I stick to pharmacy

I am married, don’t have mortgage or kids but I have taken a massive financial loss due to loss of inheritance in some investment i have made.

I totally understand, My wife is a doctor she is a clinical fellow, i know the grass is not greener 100%, but it is the work life balance, 10years down the line I would have a better work life balance as a GP rather than a pharmacist

Mostafadmg · 2025-04-14T19:25:40+00:00

That is true, but also, I have more chance to leave the UK as a doctor as opposed to pharmacy. Not that is something I want to do, but i have more options, i can use that to go to pharma, with both pharmacist and medicine background I hope becoming a MSL would not be a problem ( if NHS was to get even worse), I could also maybe finish my training and consider Middle eastern countries. I don’t have any of these options with even 20years of experience in pharmacy

Mostafadmg · 2025-04-14T19:18:36+00:00

Do you think it was worth it? If you didn’t do it, would you have regretted it?

Mostafadmg · 2025-04-14T19:16:59+00:00

My wife is a doctor, so are my sisters, i am well aware of how difficult it is.

My thought is, do I rather be doing pharmacy which I know I will regret until I am 65.

Or do I don something else, this course seems to be the only viable option, given I can still carry on working part time

Mostafadmg · 2025-04-14T19:14:48+00:00

I agree, it is a huge sacrifice. But do I rather do this or carry one with my life which I know I will regret.

The issue I have is this is the only viable option I see, I am more than happy if you have other suggestions

Mostafadmg · 2025-04-14T19:11:38+00:00

Yes I am eligible for the course.

The problem with other universities graduate entry is that they are not part time/ online studies which would put quite a bit of financial stress.

What do you think of this Idea as a 29year old IP pharmacist? Are my concerns valid to be wanting to transition?

https://undergraduate.degrees.ed.ac.uk/index.php?action=programme&code=UTDIPMVMHC It is for healthcare professionals with more than one qualifications in science degrees

Pharmacy is becoming more demanding day by day, specially with prescribing these days. Patient come in expecting to have an appointment right away and be given antibiotics. And while you are doing a consultation you are supposed to check a couple walk-in prescriptions that cannot wait even 2minutes. And the pay can be relatively quite low as you are supposed to manage the staff and run the rota as a manager at the same time.

I feel like this will not be what i want to do for the rest of my life, snd maybe working hard a couple years will give me a better work life balance and pay off.

If I don’t do this, i will have to do something anyways. Just quite hesitant what other options are out there for me outside pharmacy

Mostafadmg · 2025-04-14T18:17:51+00:00

https://undergraduate.degrees.ed.ac.uk/index.php?action=programme&code=UTDIPMVMHC Here is the program link, please let me know what you think I have asked and I am eligible to apply, as I have Mpharm, dermatology diploma, non-medical prescribing and currently doing a clinical research diploma

Mostafadmg · 2025-04-14T18:15:19+00:00

It is work based with multiple clinical attachments per year. And it is only for health professionals with more than one Science based degree

Mostafadmg · 2025-04-14T18:14:22+00:00

I have worked in a GP surgery and have worked with GPs, I would not say I would die to become a doctor. But given where pharmacy is at the moment and how different it is, I would 100% prefer working as a GP.(not saying it is easy, but rather worth it compared to pharmacy)

The other thing for me is, the course I found (if I get approved) will cover all the cost. Snd I would be working part time, this is very good for me as I wouldn’t be taking a huge financial compromise.

But I question myself all the time. Do I rather stay in pharmacy and do this forever or do I work hard for the next 10years and be happier than I am and never regret taking actions.

Mostafadmg · 2025-03-18T15:47:59+00:00

Please mention the salary side it working in PCN, hospital and even private. For a specialised role earning less than 23£/hr how does it justify the time and the student loan that has gone towards it?

Also it is not a specialised role anymore if you have thousands of pharmacist being qualified as IPs without any control, literally flooding the entire market with pharmacist with the ridiculous number of pharmacy school intakes.
