what frustrates me so much about pharmacy (coming from a third year student of it, of a five year program) is that considering how much science you study you use so little of it in the actual job, and it's next to impossible to get a more 'scientific' job as a pharmacist, even making medications...
I'd love to hear more realistic stories and advices from your videos! this would be really helpful for me to keep myself reminded about how hard pharmacist life will be..and I should be ready for this haha
I've just discovered your channel. I'm hooked. Your vids answer so many of my questions. You have such amazing insight into pharm life. Thank you. Keep them coming. And good luck to you guys.
Also rude snooty customers who look at us like we’re shop keepers and give the death stare if you’re in middle of checking a 20 item script but have to drop it all to serve their highness. When I worked as a relief for boots, I was stood at the counter for over an hour constantly selling packets of tissues and shampoos, wasn’t even able to check any medication! And these store managers who are basically shop assistants with a promo who tell us we have to do 6 murs a day even if they are dementia patients and not allowed to drink water in dispensary 🙄
Thanks for all the advice and pros and cons, both of these videos have been so helpful 💞 I hope you both continue to enjoy yourselves and your careers and again Tysm for the amazing content U post
These 2 videos were sooo interesting!! I was actually wondering how was the English pharmacy system (studies, work, etc) and it is very interesting to compare it with the French system! 👍👍
I totally agree with you. I think in general, pharmacy profession is really diverse and unique. I am a pharmacist from Philippines and worked in the middle east. I can relate with you. And experienced all of it.. haha so I guess it's a general perception to all pharmacist in hospital pharmacy. I really enjoyed watching your videos. Thanks
I'm planning to start studying pharmacy in September in UCL and tbh I am obsessed with your videos!!! I find them so helpful and just wanted to say thank you. Pleaseeee keep them coming.
hey I was wondering if you had any advice for someone who has to resit the whole year because they failed a module in pharmacy. I am not sure what to do for the entire year, given that I have to just resit one module. Any advice would be great. Thank you. Also what i hate about studying MPHARM is the whole resit a year if you fail instead of carrying it forward to the next year.
Hey, thanks for your question! i would say not to worry because doing one more year really doesn't make a difference in the grand scheme of things...Also, it's lucky that you have the chance, no?! In King's if you failed your resit you were out (as in - didn't matter if it was your third or fourth year, you were out of pharmacy) so I think it is fine! It's hella annoying yes, but at the end of the day you will DEFINITELY pass the year the second time round so overall nothing to be worried about! From Regina :)
@@KOREginAPharmacist thank you for replying to my question really appreciate it. Your videos are great & so valuable especially given the limited number of uk pharmacists on youtube is.
Hellow I'm a 4th year pharmacy student here in the Philippines, in my place people don't know that Pharmacy is a medical course and haha many people thought that pharmacist are just glorified "TINDERAS" but I really love this course !!!!!!
I'm moving to Canada from Egypt within the next 2 years. I'm a pharmacist and I'm still not sure if I want to continue being a pharmacist in Canada or just start over with a more enjoyable thing.
I have been in pharmacy for 16 years. I regret going into this field. If you are someone considering it, take into consideration your own mental health first. You will be affected by the lack of respect and missunderstanding that surrounds your job. This is especialy apparent in community pharmacy.
We have always complained about similar issues that we Pharmacists face in our profession in our country India. But it seems the world is round and the problems persist even in developed countries like UK!! Your video was literally a voice of the struggle and recognition crisis that we face..
The background noise was quite annoying, especially in the beginning. Very helpful video/content though, thanks. Good idea making it outdoors, just find a way to fix the background noise with either isolating microphones or more silent places.

Kanka türksen hastane eczacısı olma ihtimalin çok düşük olduğu için bu sıkıntıları çekeceğini düşünmüyorum :D

I left the profession after 11 years in 2000-now I teach at the college level-best decision I ever made-best of luck to the both of you! God bless!
Good luck in your career change!!!
This was helpful thank you, I’ve subscribed 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank youu, good luck with your applications!
As a retail pharmacy technician, I agree with statement number 1 people don’t know what goes behind the counter.
Agreed!

Honestly, it's a struggle everywhere!!! Thanks for your comment :)
@@KOREginAPharmacist Yeah true. But the struggle ends almost after 10 years of service. In the meantime, what hurts most is the remuneration!!
The background noise was quite annoying, especially in the beginning.
Very helpful video/content though, thanks.
Good idea making it outdoors, just find a way to fix the background noise with either isolating microphones or more silent places.
Thank you so much for your feedback! :) I will work on the microphone thing!
Woah can u make a video on all the hidden fees please 😳😳
Do you still think being a pharmacist was worth it?
Definitely!
I thought pharmacists earn more than nurses...please answer 🥺
Not in the NHS! It's the agenda for change
Pharmacy aint worth it
really? why?
Poor pay, no respect, poor job prospects, poor working conditions
@@dstar4755 do u think midwifery is worth it

Better hope your employers dont see this lol
