I start my first day in hospital on monday after doing just under 2 yrs in community which i hated. I feel like my clinical knowledge has always been a strong point but i know ill struggle a little to begin with but one tip another hospital pharamcist gave me was that no one knows everything so dont go in with the assumption that you need to know everything the most important thing is knowing where to find the information and consolidate findings to come up with a reasonable rational and answer to queries. I actually find that skill set in itself to be strongest in community pharmacists because we have very few guidelines to work with whereas within trusts there are specific guidelines so problem solving is something you'll naturally be good at when moving from community to hospital. Good luck to anyone in a similar boat as me take it on as a challenge and give it your all.

Great video!
great 🫡
Really useful video even for those that undertook their pre reg in hospital like me! The imposter syndrome is strong regardless
