Lloydspharmacy's smartphone trailer offers pharmacy graduates insight into the format of the preregistration scheme
A smartphone trailer and presentation to help pharmacy graduates gain a greater understanding of life at Lloydspharmacy has been launched by the community pharmacy chain.
The trailer offers pharmacy graduates an insight into the format of the preregistration scheme, and details of career progression possibilities, secondment opportunities abroad, support for continuing professional development and benefits.
Barbara Sutherland, head of capability at Lloydspharmacy, said: “The aim of this [trailer] is to help pharmacy graduates understand a little more about the exciting changes afoot in the community pharmacy sector directly from people working in this field, and what support and help they can expect from our scheme.”
She added: “We’re passionate about giving our preregistration trainee pharmacists the skills they need to be not only a great pharmacist, but also the management skills that will help move their career on. And because we believe in our pharmacists being a part of their local community, it’s important that graduates understand the scheme as much as possible before they apply, so they know what to expect and can be sure it’s right for them.”
Applications for the 2012 Lloydspharmacy preregistration scheme close on 30 April 2011.
