2About Me
I am a 4th Year Pharmacy student at the University of Brighton in which I am the first cohort that they are including the Independent Prescribing Course! I have loved my Pharmacy journey so far as alongside University I also work weekends at Boots. I know Pharmacy is not an easy course having done resits prior to progress into the next year but, with time I managed to figure out what was best for me in terms of performing well in examinations, coursework and OSCEs. I would love to help any Pharmacy students or anyone who is interested in the Pharmacy profession as I achieved ABB in my A-Levels (Psychology: A, Biology: B Chemistry: B) and have some experience in interviews as I originally applied for Medicine (received interviews for Nottingham, Lancaster and Dundee) but, made the change to Pharmacy because I wanted to be closer to home!
My teaching style
I use quizlet always, it is a life saver as I go through my lectures and make flashcards on the content I need to know so I can test myself via active recall. I used to write the lecture content on each module on paper flashcards but discovered it was not sustainable so, I know use online methods such as quizlet
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest achievement so far was dealing with the progression from Secondary School to University as it was so much harder than I thought but, now I am half way through my degree!
