Pharmacist

A Pharmacist dispenses medicines and other pharmaceutical treatments. You might work in a chemist or be employed at a hospital or other health facility. Pharmacists prepare and dispense medications according to health prescriptions. You might provide advice on health products and guidance on the compatibility of medicines and other products.

Pharmacists should have strong attention to detail and excellent analytical abilities. It’s important you can follow correct procedures and communicate clearly with customers from a range of backgrounds. Pharmacists must be organised and able to manage the needs of several customers at one time.
