Like riding a bike

All the dispensary staff and the other pharmacist are being a great support to me this week. I’ve made it well known that I haven’t practised for a number of years and so I will need a gentle reminder on some issues! I am up to date clinically, and with all the processes of the new pharmacy contract but I’d forgotten the vast range of different issues that a community pharmacist is expected to deal with on a daily basis. For example, medicines that can and can’t go into dosette boxes, how to measure and fit someone for a stocking, medicines that have long term manufacturing problems (e.g. Heliclear), and the expiry date on Zineryt once its made up!
