Pharmacist (B.Pharm)
Your morning shift at a large hospital pharmacy begins by verifying inpatient prescriptions for 200 beds — checking for drug-drug interactions on the clinical pharmacology software, counselling a patient on the correct inhaler technique for their new Budecort prescription, and substituting an out-of-stock antibiotic with an equivalent approved by the treating physician. Afternoons are spent supervising narcotic drug dispensing with dual-verification protocols and preparing a monthly pharmacovigilance report.
