THANKS Richard 👍
Here’s the FULL LIST of PHARMACY INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I am extremely passionate about pharmacy and in particular providing the right advice and medicine to patients. I am accurate and methodical in my approach to all tasks and I have the ability to always pay attention to detail whilst following strict rules, procedures and regulatory guidelines. I take my professional development seriously and I will always maintain competence by keeping updated with developments from the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. I possess strong relationship building qualities and I always take a genuine interest in people’s health and wellbeing. This, I believe, has been proven in previous roles where I have demonstrated understanding and empathy when communicating with patients. I understand there comes a huge amount of responsibility with this pharmacy role, and if you hire me, I will always go about duties with diligence and absolute professionalism.”
Q2. Why do you want to work for us in this pharmacy position?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I want to work for you because it is so important in pharmacy to work for an organization that has outstanding values and that wants to continually improve so that optimum patient care and treatment is always provided. Pharmacy is just one element of the wider hub that provides care, treatment and medicine to patients, and in order to achieve the values that are set by the healthcare organization or trust, everyone must pull in the same direction. During my research, it quickly became apparent that this healthcare organization is run to a very high standard. Coupled with the fact you have a set of definitive and impressive values, I feel positive I will be supported in my role and everyone I work with will operate to the same high standards that I always strive to maintain.”

Yes! I Want To Pass My Interview!Skills, Qualities and Attributes Needed to be a Pharmacist

4 IMPORTANT TIPS FOR PASSING A PHARMACY JOB INTERVIEW
Regardless of the healthcare organization or the NHS Trust you are hoping to work for as a pharmacist, the following four tips will help you prepare full for your interview.
PHARMACY INTERVIEW TIP #1
Read and study the values of the healthcare organization or the NHS Trust you are applying to work for before you attend your interview. The values usually focus on respect and dignity, a commitment to quality of care, compassion, improving lives, working together for patients and also everyone counts.
PHARMACY INTERVIEW TIP #2
Consider how you maintain competence in your work as a pharmacist and ensure you can explain thoroughly what steps you take to keep up your responsibilities in respect of continuous professional development (CPD). The General Pharmaceutical Council website has some useful information in respect of the revalidation framework for pharmacy workers.
PHARMACY INTERVIEW TIP #3
You will get asked an interview question that assesses why you want to work for their healthcare organisation or trust as a pharmacist. On that basis, we strongly recommend that you research their organization and draw up a list of five things that has attracted you to them. Your list might include details relating to the standards of patient treatment and care they provide; the work they do towards improving and developing, and the advice they offer their patients in terms of medicine.
PHARMACY INTERVIEW TIP #4
You will have the opportunity to ask the interview panel a number of questions of your own at the end of your pharmacy interview. We recommend you ask three questions that are focused on the current and future challenges being faced by the healthcare organization and what you can do to help them overcome these in your pharmacy role.
