Overview
On a day to day basis I'm part of the operational pharmacy procedures, from receiving prescriptions to dispensing them, all the way to the final check and hand out of medications to patients. I'm being trained in the professional leadership side of pharmacy as well as the clinical side where I get to apply the knowledge gained at university on the job. I am also involved in projects as part of the internship
Skills
Yes, my pharmacy skills including communication, team work and other soft skills needed for things like consultations, and my leadership skills which are needed to manage the pharmacy team the I would be leading by the end of the internship to ensure the safe and effective running of the pharmacy
Responsibilities
I am being given opportunities that are really pushing me out of my comfort zone and developing me into the trained professional that I'll be by the end of it
Support & Guidance
The company's structure and support is excellent and it's tailored to the learning outcomes of the profession's regulatory body to ensure that I meet the requirement needed for me to register upon completion of my training year
Culture
It's supportive. Fitting in and feeling like an important part of the team might have taken some time but the team has made me feel valued and appreciated
Your Impressions
Considering factors like commute time and the work load, it's been challenging but I have been enjoying most of it
Yes
Go for it. By hearing some fellow trainees' experience with other companies I do genuinely think that Boots' internship is probably second to none in community pharmacy
