Summary

Working in a hospital pharmacy as a dispenser has equipped me with invaluable skills and insights on how to dispense medications accurately and efficiently. Through dispensing medications, it enabled me to develop a deep understanding of pharmaceuticals and their vital role in patient centric care. My hands-on experience has educated and enabled me to apply my knowledge from my degree to cater to specific cases and understanding how to tailor treatments in accordance to different patients. Attention to detail, adherence to protocols and SOPs alongside the commitment to accuracy are merely some of the vast amount skills that I have acquired that will be vital in working in a laboratory setting. Working in a hospital has taught me the importance of communication and the importance of working effectively in a multidisciplinary team. With my dedication to the healthcare sector and my potential to excel in the scientific field, I am eager to contribute to the sector in what I have successfully graduated in.
