Summary
Recent third year, but soon to be a fourth year Pharmacy student seeking the opportunity to continue developing my career. Enthusiasm, hard-working, reliable and driven are just the few attributes I aim to bring to any role. I have a year and continuing experience of working in a Pharmacy, pre-existing experience at Spiire having completed my work experience arrangement program in year 10. Three years pre-existing experience in automobile services, and 3 years’ experience at McDonald’s, and many hours of experience at three different placement settings, further developing my expertise in aiming to be one of the best pharmacists. The previous work and placement experiences develop the discipline and effort required to put towards any role that will enhance my value as a future pharmacist.

Third Year – Second Semester Placement
Alfred Hospital - Pharmacy Placements
11.2024 - 11.2024
- This placement was a huge learning opportunity
- Learning about everything in a hospital, from the ward rounds, to discharges, admissions (BPMH), medication orders, medication reconciliations, and chart checks
- It was an extensive experience, and I’ve gained so much knowledge to have under my belt
- I was in the Neurosurgery ward, and it is a topic I have not gone through at university yet, but learning about brain aneurysms, tumours, hemorrhages, SAH, SDH, and many more common patient appearances was a challenging, but a rewarding experience I loved to learn
- It is a completely different environment to the community setting, especially when you have doctors, registrars, nurses, etc., all on the ward and you get to have multiple meetings with all health professionals to discuss best managements of patient care
- This was amazing to witness the level of care that the hospitals offer directly to their patients on the ward
- The take home major learning I got was the knowledge from the whole experience
- From attaining a better medication history taking, to more knowledge of medication uses, and rationale behind decision making, and so much more, which all contribute to ensuring I have more expertise to use as a registered pharmacist
