my 'constructive critisisim.'
. ive just added and edited some of it. some of the changes are not so obvious though. i hope you dont take any offence to it. let me know if you dont get any of it.
I have always wanted to pursue a career in healthcare from a young age.
I wanted a career that would make a difference to peoples lives, a career where I could do my part and contribute to society. I was also interested that medicines are able to relieve suffering and cure disease.
Are you trying to say that you have always been interested in how medications are able relive pain, etc? its not quite clear.
to continue.....
My mother is also in the healthcare profession and therefore has showed me that pharmacy is not only a profession, but it is the very frontline of healthcare and a life in science. This has also fuelled my interest in the subject.
Biology and chemistry, the subjects that I have previously undertaken; which are also at the very head of pharmacy, have also aided me to fulfil my dream and take on pharmacy as a career.
I also have a love for biology, as I find the minute details of the functions and structures of the
(or whatever it is that interests you about the human body) human body just amazing.
As knowledge and Skill in maths is required for a career in pharmacy, my keeness and determination in striving to overcome a challenge is strong, as i have not studied maths at A-level. My maths skills include using numbers, fractions and percentages to solve problems and this will be essential for a degree in pharmacy.
My biomedical degree has increased my knowledge upon many disciplines, including clinical biochemistry, immunology and cellular pathology. It has also provided me with the knowledge of how the human body functions in reaction to both sickness and health, as well as allowing me to develop key skills and other characteristics, such as……….. This has significantly provided me with the basis for a career in the pharmaceutical industry. Carrying out project work in university brought out my initiative, persistence and organizational skills.
My problem solving and communication skills are excellent. I am able to communicate effectively in a variety of coursework, presentations and examinations and can apply methods and subject knowledge accurately and carefully to a given problem. This can be applied to the pharmacy degree.
Working effectively with others within a group in order to achieve a goal comes naturally to me. This stems from my friendly and approachable personality, and as a result can build strong relationships within a team. These skills can be valuable in this career as pharmacists work alongside a team of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and others.
Such skills were also demonstrated when my passion for pharmacy prompted me to find a job within a community pharmacy. The job gave me an opportunity to gain and develop many skills including group dynamics, organisation, time management and communication skills. It entailed me to deal with customers and any consumer problems. By working in such an environment, I was able to put my good listening skills into practice as/when it was required for me listen attentively to a customers health needs and show understanding towards them. Helping my younger sister with any difficulties she may be facing in her academic work brings out my helpful personality and shows that I take a keen interest in the well-being of other individuals. I thoroughly enjoyed working in such an environment as it also gave me the oopurtunity to see how the local pharmacists helped people daily and what a great difference it made to the individual.
I can work well under pressure and can easily meet deadlines, as time management is one of my strongest skills.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading; movies, socialising, swimming and also enjoy the odd game of badminton. Painting is another pastime that I enjoy. It involves great care and co-ordination to produce, just like producing medicine in the pharmacy. By allowing your labs to be my canvas, and my skill, intelligence and responsibility to be the medium, I have great confidence that I will benefit the community as a whole. In addition, My knowlege and abilty in the languages of Gujirati and Urdu is beneficial as I feel that this will be an aid amongst a community whose mother-tongue is not English. I also enjoy cooking. The way one is able to use various ingredients to make a beautiful dish, can be easily compared to the ‘culinary’ of pharmacy where different elements are used to make a medicinal compound, where if strawberry flavoured not only tastes good, but cures the ailment too!
Studying pharmacy will not only give me an opportunity to give something back to the community but will give me a rewarding career where both I and other individuals will benefit from.

In addition, I love cooking, the way you can use various ingredients to make a beautiful dish. It can be easily compared to the art of pharmacy where different elements are used to make a medicinal compound, where if strawberry flavoured not only tastes good, but cures the ailment too!
