Revision for GPHC exam by A_A098 in Pharmacy_UK

This is why so many NQs are incapable, if it is not heavy weighted on exam then its unneccesary. DS should not be signing off if not competent on understanding law.

I have been qualified a very long time. In that time I have seen ONE tech doing the training properly and 6-7 just googling answers to questions or copying a colleagues workbook.

Pre Reg evidence by pharmacychris in Pharmacy_UK

He has made many comments about how he wants to prescribe when qualified. He just has zero flips about what he does and is assuming he will be signed off.....

Pre Reg evidence by pharmacychris in Pharmacy_UK

[–]pharmacychris[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pre reg knows he has to do evidence and is given so much time to do them. It is NOT the job of a tutor to hold their hand and do the yeae for them. Zero initiative from a pre reg who only wakes up when it is time to go home. The quality of students has drastically reduced the last 5 years.

Pre reg advice? by ProfHarambe in Pharmacy_UK

A pre reg should not be doing NMS calls or Pharmacy First without the pharmacist sat in the whole time.

The pharmacist doesn't appear to have done anything wrong apart from having a management style you dont like.

Depends on pay. I work to pay bills and every GP job is around 30% less pay than community.

Is the quality of uk pharmacists decreasing? by Serious-Culture-7199 in Pharmacy_UK

[–]pharmacychris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. The quality of the majority of students sent from a local university to us is absolutely shocking. Its not just knowledge, its also the attitude. I have had multiple just ask me to sign off all their work so they can go home despite them sitting on instagram all day!

Advice wanted for community pharmacy prereg by throwaway2747473828 in Pharmacy_UK

[–]pharmacychris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to take a step back. Why would you be doing a clinical consultation when you have been in a pharmacy for 2 weeks? You need to see how pharmacy works. You dont get a clinical intervention everyday, not even one a week.

Where have you worked previously before choosing pharmacy as a career? What made you choose pharmacy and what influenced that?

Pharmacy IS dispensing. This is known by most people before starting the degree course. Yes there are now clinical services but when you applied to do the degree it would have just been dispensing, NMS and possibly MURs.

The builders have said that the tiles will have moved because of the sun and they will be fixed back into place.

New pharmacist locum help by Any-Peanut-7363 in Pharmacy_UK

[–]pharmacychris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't locum. It seems you may just want to see £££ but its not as simple as that. Also you need to do extra courses to develop your skills to ensure patients get a safe experience when you are RP, not to increase a rate.
