Pharmacy ownership
Student seminars
From Mr M. H. Smith, FRPharmS
I was interested to read in the PJ (30 September, p407) that community
pharmacy ownership is the top ambition among pharmacy students.
I have organised, together with my colleagues at UniChem, seminars over
the past three years at various schools of pharmacy. The seminar takes
the form of an hour of presentations followed by another hour or so for
questions. I like to give living examples of young pharmacists who have
actually chosen this career path and I am pleased to say that several of
the final-year students whom we have spoken to have already achieved their
goal of ownership.
Our next seminar is at Aston University on 22 November. The real difficulty
with these seminars is fitting them into the already crowded academic year,
but if any of the schools would like to book a date please contact me by
sending an e-mail to mike.h.smith@unichem.co.uk
As a footnote I would add that I greatly enjoy these events. It is so refreshing
to stand in front of room of 50 or so pharmacy students who have such great
enthusiasm for our profession. Its future is certainly safe in their hands.
