I developed my prioritisation skills whilst dealing with outpatient prescriptions, doctors' telephone queries, patients at the hatch with OTC clinical queries, and assisting in inpatient pharmacy. -Adapted practice during the national cyber-attack following loss of access to online chemotherapy records to ensure the outpatient chemotherapy service was running as smoothly and safely as possible. -I taught pre-registration pharmacists, summer students, and new staff in the dispensary.

-From the care of the elderly side of the rotation, I built upon the knowledge gained during the pre-registration year. I also covered the coronary care unit, A&E observation unit, maternity and gynaecology wards. -I delivered an IV therapy presentation to a group of 30 nurses.
