During my phlebotomy internship at a GP clinic, I was soley responsible for running the phlebotomy clinic, taking bloods for around 50 patients a week. I gained hands-on experience in venipuncture, patient interaction, and maintaining strict hygiene and safety protocols. I developed the ability to use medical and patient records software like Emis Health aswell as strong communication skills to reassure patients, ensured accurate labeling and handling of samples, and learned to manage time effectively in a fast-paced clinical environment. This experience enhanced my understanding of patient care, teamwork, and the importance of precision in medical procedures.

Throughout my tenure in the pharmacy field, I have consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to patient well-being and safety. My responsibilities have included accurately dispensing medications, conducting inventory and stock management, selling perfumes and gift sets and providing essential patient education on medication usage and potential side effects. These duties have honed my ability to communicate complex medical information in a clear and understandable manner. Moreover, my experience has instilled in me the ability to provide support and reassurance to patients in the pharmacy as well as to provide clear and concise guidance on what they should proceed to do next. Also being a 5th year medical student, Ive been able to combine what Ive studied in my clinical years at medical school with what Ive learnt in the pharmacy to give well informed direction to patients in need and this has over time, helped me enhance my problem solving skills under pressure.
