Attention to Detail

Dispensing the right medicines in the right dosage can be a

'life and death' activity. Mistakes could be fatal.

Organisation

The hospital pharmacy and its outlets can at times be

extremely busy and hectic. Needs to be highly organised not

only to meet the demands of the role but also to avoid

mistakes being made along the way.

Interpersonal skills

Most patients find Doctors intimidating, and may not ask the

questions they need about their medication. As a result it's

vital that the pharmacist is approachable to all and indeed

recognises when a patient may require extra help and advice

to understand their treatment.

Adaptability
