 The future of pharmacy is endless and I'm very excited to see where it goes. My name's Angus and I'm studying the Bachelor of Pharmacy Honours Program here at the University of Newcastle. I'd always had a love for my chemistry and I always knew I wanted to do something that allowed me to work with people and it sort of just went hand in hand. My name's Jamie Lee and I study a Bachelor of Pharmacy Honours at the University of Newcastle. I worked as a pharmacy assistant since I left school at a pharmacy on the Central Coast. I have a strong passion for pharmacotherapy and chose to study at the University of Newcastle as it was close to my home and provides a really great program for pharmacy. The flexibility is really, really good. It's a lovely blend of hybrid learning face to face when you need it but then you've also got that flexibility of being able to do your lectures online and study when you choose especially for myself who has to travel a little bit further. It does make it a lot easier for me to schedule my life and my work around that. The balance between that online learning and face to face clinical workshops with our lectures and professors has been something that I haven't ever experienced in any other degree and I've really enjoyed that learning process. Our placement opportunities are quite extensive. I've worked for nine years in community pharmacy. That's might be my only experience in pharmacy so when the University of Newcastle offered us opportunities to expand our scope and to practice in other types of settings, that was definitely a highlight for me. The placements are structured in such a way that you have to apply your learning so you've got checklists, you've got boxes to tick to make sure that you are understanding and you are implementing the learning that you're undertaking whilst on campus in a really practical aspect which is out in the community. The pharmacist industry is expanding. It's an ever-evolving career. A lot of people find that the first person they'll go to with a health problem is a pharmacist. They're the most easily accessible and the scope of practice is just broadening every day.
