Thank you so much for this video. I am currently waiting to begin my first year in pharmacy school and have always known I wanted to pursue hospital pharmacy. This video has motivated me even more. It's not about the money, its about the quality of the career, and I definitely believe hospital pharmacy is the best option :)
Hi, thank you for the informative video! Just a few points to add, community pharmacists do get to do clinical diploma as well under the NHS Integration Fund which is available to all pharmacists. There are much more clinical exposure in community pharmacies these days than just MUR & NMS - at my pharmacy I run Warfarin Clinic where I test patient's INR and dose their warfarin, ENT & UTI Clinics where I carry out assessment & test and prescribe antibiotics where appropriate under the PGDs and Travel Health Clinic where I get to vaccinate and prescribe antimalarial tablets. There are many other community pharmacies that offer these or even more clinical services! 😄 Hope these information add values to those who want to know more about community Xx
@@geoffreyselvage1673 So you mean you don't even have a moment to breathe, seat and relax. That's really crazy! I definitely would take shorter shifts then.
Hi, Another point to mention. There is a massive difference between chain pharmacies and independents in the community. I run a small independent and family ran pharmacy in Scotland. My technicians are on over £17.50 per hour, my dispensers over $12 and MCAs start at £10.50. The pharmacists earn a huge amount more than the likes of lloyds pay if they are good at their job. We also offer more holidays than the multiples or the NHS. With those pay scales, we have no staff turnover, a well staffed and veteran team behind the pharmacist. Just thought i'd mention that your experience with a multiple does not reflect everything in the community. plus, we have chairs!!!
@@johnboyle2691 Hi, We aren't part of a chain. My mother and I own and run a single branch independent pharmacy in Hawick in the Scottish Borders - T.N. Crosby chemist. It has always worked well for us to pay decent wages and have more staff than an average pharmacy. It means we have highly dedicated and excellently trained staff, no staff turnover, we can poach the best people from elsewhere when we want to, and enough staff to provide a very fast and efficient service which gains us more business. We are probably a minority, but i didn't want to be numbered among the bad places to work in the community!! If a patient hands over a script for an acute antibiotic or the likes, they can expect to wait about 2 minutes before the medication is handed back to them. p.s. my staff all got a pay rise since my first comment .
I worked as a community pharmacist for 2 years and I was happy in the beginning but then I realized I can't bear the bad supervisor I have and you know selling and angry customer, now I am looking forward to being a hospital pharmacist, I think I will be good in it, I don't know, still confused thank you and I am so glad that I found your channel
Working extra hours oncall, poor pay, 2.5 yrs of extra studying, evenings, night and weekend work, always short staffed. Pharmacy gets blamed for everything. Constantly chasing drs up, then its us that gets blamed for taking long. Staff dont like us on wards and managers dont like us in the office. Parking is a nightmare too.
Dear KOREginA London Pharmacist, thank you for interesting video! Could you add video about changing professional responsibilities for hospital pharmacists 7, 8 and 9, please? What is the role of more trained hospital pharmacist in the clinical team? I am especially interested in which functions of the doctor top pharmacist may carry. In your video doctor, your friend, said, she don't know some specific scheme of treatment and pharmacist helps with this. Are doctors not enough educated, as concern pharmacotherapy? From the other side, almost in all videos devoted hospital pharmacist, and community also, there is pointed that all clinical roles of pharmacist may be done by the physician, but doctor is overloaded. Is it only one reason to establish this new pharmacist speciality? What do you think about this? As concern my country pharmacists don't develop clinical competences.
Thanks for sharing your story, am currently a 4th year pharmacy(Mpharm) student in Cyprus(Turkey side) one more year to go. i really am looking forward to practicing fulltime. can anyone please recommend series, books, news letters, social platforms, movies etc that is solely base on the profession of pharmacy that I can still learn from and get to know more about pharmacy.
Actually i thought the exact same thing when i started my alevels 2 years ago! I did bio chem physics and maths till a2 and got all 3a*s and 1a(physics). I was actually thinking about pharmacy but now im studying medicine in UCL!! Just go with it but make sure you do revisions regularly and you'll get what you deserve! xx
Hello! Your video is really cool! Tell pls, what about activities with purchasing, compounding or dispensing? You told about clinical pharmacy only. Is there a difference between hospital and clinical?
Thank you for making this video! I also wang to know is there any difference between private hospitals and NHS hospitals? I havent really decided which one is more suitable for me to spend my pre-reg year.
Hi commanders,am from india currently am studying pharm d my wish is to work at America ,how many years I need experience to work there.....please answer me anyone...
Happy I found this. Although the positions are different I found an opportunity on the NHS about being a pre-registration trainee pharmacy technician. What's the work dynamic like between pharmacists and technicians?
Nice video, if you don't mind, can you clarify for the d/nce b/n pharmacy and pharmacetical chemistry.What do recommended best to for me to study(considering job, salary)? am quiet hesitated.
Hi I’m an aspiring pharmacist and I was wondering ,because the uk salary for pharmacy is so low , why you wouldn’t move out to America and become a pharmacist there ?
this year im going to have my bsc in pharmacy and im from egypt and im supposed to take the OSPAP and i really need some general questions to know what paper work to do , do you have a bussnis email that i can contact you on just for a couple of minutes of your time
@@KOREginAPharmacist Don’t apologise u speak fine, also I’ve applied to study pharmacy this year but I’ve seen a lot of people talk about how the market is saturated and how everyone is underpayed,what are your thoughts on this? And does this affect clinical pharmacists aswell? Also how long does it take to move up each band? Sorry for asking so many questions but I’m curious and I wanna know what I’m getting into

MAggie u still recommend community?
£14ph is way too low for a health care professional with a masters degree in my opinion...
This was as a pre-reg, not as a pharmacist
For pre-reg that's okay uno
Its £2 extra
You're super concise and to the point! That's why your style precisely suits the role of a hospital pharmacist. Great video and keep updating!
THANK YOU!
Thanks for the insight I never got to go on placement this year because of current circumstances.
I hate retail pharmacy. Standing on my feet for 8 hours in a small place is like hell for me.
Retail pharmacists in the USA can work: 10, 12, 13,14 hours shifts with very little help. 8hours/ day hold my beer.
@Hopper33 But u get to seat down, don't you?
@@geoffreyselvage1673 but my friend there said they at times sit down when there ain't patients.
@@stacyuviasah3090 Not in pharmacies filling 300+ scripts/day with little support.

Hi Regina ... You video was really helpful. Thanks.
Thank you!!!!! :D
I'm a Pharm D graduate from India.. I would like to know more about the jobs of overseas pharmacist .. Could you please help me
The best part of NHS = no insurance companies. The bane of USA pharmacists is the hassle of prior authorizations, step therapy, etc.,,,
Agreed

Hello! Your video is really cool!
Tell pls, what about activities with purchasing, compounding or dispensing?
You told about clinical pharmacy only. Is there a difference between hospital and clinical?
I don't know much about purchasing or compounding but I hope to learn more in future!
@@KOREginAPharmacist is there such activities in your hospital pharmacy? is it pharmacist's duty or somebody else's?
Thank you for making this video! I also wang to know is there any difference between private hospitals and NHS hospitals? I havent really decided which one is more suitable for me to spend my pre-reg year.
Yes, there is a big difference, but I haven't worked in private so can't comment!
Hi commanders,am from india currently am studying pharm d my wish is to work at America ,how many years I need experience to work there.....please answer me anyone...
Happy I found this.
Although the positions are different I found an opportunity on the NHS about being a pre-registration trainee pharmacy technician.
What's the work dynamic like between pharmacists and technicians?
This really depends on the pharmacist and technician! It's hit and miss..I've had great experiences and I've had bad experiences too....

Thx for the vdo

Not much..like, 20 an hour?
Hello! How did you manage to find a job in the NHS, do you think it's hard or that there are some barriers of entry?
Through NHS jobs, and the main barrier is if you haven't had much hospital experience before but you can definitely overcome this!
