Want to know what pharmacy is really all about? What to study? Where to start?

We brought together a group of our pharmacy colleagues with Cool FM’s Rebecca McKinney who quizzed them on their careers and what an average day in the life of a pharmacist – and becoming a pharmacist - is like.

Our panel includes those currently studying pharmacy at University; those who have experience in hospital, community and GP surgery roles; plus senior representatives from the Department of Health NI. Check out what they had to say.
