Anyone here attending pharm school in England? I vacationed in London 4 weeks ago and went to Boots, their equivalent to a mega CVS. I thought it was great how they expanded pharmacist roles over there -- such as their ability to prescribe certain drugs for you right at the counter.

The only downside I saw was the pharmacists over there don't obtain a 'doctor of pharmacy' degree... only masters degrees.

socialized healthcare

people wait forever for services that we take for granted... or they pay extra to get it done now

It's a trade there with little associated pride, fewer responsibilities, and less extensive training.
