Here's what our Interns have had to say..
-
I have had an amazing three months with Pharmaceutical Press. It has been a true privilege to be surrounded by the clinical and editorial expertise that underpins all their publications. From assisting with typesetting tasks for the print versions of BNF and BNFC to working on a marketing campaign, I have completed a wide range of enriching tasks. I am incredibly grateful to have worked alongside such supportive and welcoming teams. I would recommend the internship to all students who are interested in alternative career paths within pharmacy!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the editorial team. You can tell that a lot of thought has gone into this internship - from the Careers Fayre to constantly having exposure to staff in different roles within the organisation, there was a great chance to network and have 1-1 conversations with pharmacists who have not taken the conventional working route. I have taken a lot away and appreciate all the organisers! Thank you once again for this opportunity.

Being part of the editorial team was an extremely rewarding experience, enabling me to develop invaluable writing, teamworking and multitasking skills while also building long-lasting friendships. I even got to have my name included in the BNF! This has truly been an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone.

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!

I had an outstanding experience interning with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. Throughout my time there, I had the opportunity to work on various teams, each project enriching my knowledge and skills significantly. The environment was both collaborative and stimulating, making the experience thoroughly enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend this internship to anyone eager to learn about an alternative career path in pharmacy. A 10/10 experience!

“I have developed so much as a person and as a future pharmacist during my time at PhP. Additionally, I have made deep and lasting friendships with the other interns that has allowed me to increase my network beyond my own pharmacy school. It was an amazing and rewarding experience, which I would recommend for any MPharm student.
