What do I like about Aston? - ans
What is a day like for a pharmacist? - ansPharmacists ensure that medications are
dispensed safely and offer clinical advice to patients concerning how to take them,
what reactions may occur and answering patients questions.
What pharmacists do? - anspharmacists are getting more proactive about being
involved in their patients' health, in terms of comprehensive medication reviews (not
just 'are you taking this? yeah, look good, next' but making sure there's an indication
for each medication, that the dose is correct, the therapies make sense, patients are
adherent, any drug interactions, any drug related problems), having in-depth
conversations with their patients about their health and medications, doing follow
ups, adapting prescriptions when they find drug-related problems such as dosing
oversights by prescribers
What skills are required for a pharmacist? - ansAttention to detail
Which subject in pharmacy interested you? - ansI enjoy human biology and picked
pharmacy as it allows me to treat illnesses for the whole body not just specifically
for certain areas, without surgery or invasive procedures.
Why do you want to become a pharmacist? - ansAlways enjoyed human biology and
when considering career options I wanted to chose a degree that would lead to a job
in the healthcare field. During my week of hospital work experience I had the
opportunity to speak to ppl of different occupations in the healthcare field such as
,Aston University, Exams of Pharmacy
doctors, nurses, a dietitian and pharmacist. I picked pharmacy bc I liked the fact
they
I think it's a very rewarding career, pharmacist play an important role in ensuring the
safety of patients by making sure treatments are dispensed and used correctly
without causing and unintentional harm. I look forward to being able to help people
with the knowledge I gain from my degree, helping them better understand their
medications
I like to think of pharmacy as a specialty in itself, just like how we have specialities
in medicine (family, GI, psych, etc), pharmacy is really a subspecialty of medicine in
that pharmacists specialize in drugs. If you think you'd be happy with a career that
looks exclusively at medications (a broad field) and you enjoy patient interactions,
then pharmacy is a good option
Why pharmacy instead of medicine? - ansNo invasive procedures in pharmacy but
still a lot of variation in ur job as a pharmacist. Studying drugs is interesting and
having to constantly update myself on new drugs. Wide range of jobs available after
graduation such as community pharmacy, institutional pharmacy, academia,
research, pharmaceutical companies.
Your ideas and experiences related to the field of pharmacy and healthcare more
widely. - ansDuring my work experience in year 11 I shadowed a pharmacist in the
endicrinology department. She was summarising patients drug lists before
discharge. My observation of her work I became aware of the many responsibilities
of a pharmacist. The importance of attention to detail as thorough checks that are
required on the contraindications and side effects of the drugs. It became clear to
me that if drugs are not administered and dispensed appropriately, it may have a
detrimental effect on patients' health.
