- Undertake checking procedures involved in the production of publications, including proofreading, and other tasks relevant to the quality assurance of PhP outputs.
Here's what our Interns have had to say..
-
The past 3 months with the editorial team were great. I got to experience the work behind many of the PhP publications. I appreciated that all staff members were willing to answer all your questions about possible pharmacy-related career paths, which was quite useful as I am going through the oriel process. I would recommend this internship to all pharmacy students that want to experience something different from the usual pharmacy placements.

Collaborating with editorial teams and students from other universities, assisting with typesetting tasks for the BNF/BNFC, and helping behind the scenes with various Medicines Complete publications has been extremely insightful. My experience has allowed me to explore the alternative career paths a pharmacist may take with their applied clinical knowledge, and further appreciate the dedication that goes into the RPS. I would recommend this internship to all pharmacy students looking for a unique opportunity, and a summer to remember! Thank you!

Reflecting on my time at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society has been nothing short of eye-opening. From diving into the intricate world of BNF typesetting and publishing to collaborating with the brilliant science team on system improvements, I’ve had a front-row seat to the powerhouse that drives the pharmaceutical world in the UK. It's been a whirlwind of learning, collaboration, and discovery, and I’ve truly made the most of every moment. This experience has not only sharpened my skills but also broadened my horizons, revealing the exciting career paths a pharmacy degree can offer. I’m incredibly grateful for the chance to be part of such a dynamic environment, working alongside like-minded peers who are just as passionate about the field. This summer has been a significant chapter in my journey, and I can’t wait to see where it leads next!
