Kept busy with helpful training and thesis discussions, the 2017 Pharmacy Interns have had a busy week in the RCSI, Dublin. While the interns have a few challenging and busy months ahead of becoming registered Pharmacists, they are on the home stretch and so close to seeing the benefits of years of hard work.
At PharmaConex we believe it is never too early to consider your career. Yesterday, in a city centre pub, beside a cosy fire, the PharmaConex team met with some of the interns to discuss all options available to them before and after registration.
For those who couldn’t make it, below are some of the questions and items discussed (over a glass of wine and a slice of pizza of course!).
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH AN AGENCY
Working with an agency ensures you have a support structure in place when looking to either locum or go into full-time employment. The face to face process ensures you are placed in tailored roles to suit you. The PharmaConex team work with all the major Pharmacy networks in Ireland which means there are always roles available.
WILL IT COST ME ANYTHING?
It doesn’t cost you anything to work with an agency. PharmaConex and the clients we work with cover all the costs.
I AM DOING MY INTERNSHIP IN A HOSPITAL AND AM WORRIED I WILL LOSE TOUCH WITH COMMUNITY
Did you know we can place you in a technician role before you are registered? Maybe you would like to do one shift a month to ensure you don’t lose touch with community. Let us know what you want and we will do our very best to accommodate you.
I WANT TO LOCUM BUT AM AFRAID I WILL END UP IN A PHARMACY WHICH IS TOO BUSY FOR ME
We support you fully on your journey as a fully registered Pharmacist. We will talk to you in person about your requirements and aim to find a fit to suit you. We can also arrange ‘shadow days’ in a host Pharmacy which will give you some time to get fully comfortable before venturing out on your own.
WHAT IF I BEGIN TO LOCUM BUT THEN DECIDE I WANT A FULL-TIME JOB?
This is absolutely no problem. Want to change from locuming to full time employment or vice-versa? We will simply pass you onto the relevant team member to suit your requirements. We will stick with you throughout your career and ensure that you are always matched with the correct person to suit your needs.
