What past interns have said about their time with us...

The past 3 months with the editorial team were great. I got to experience the work behind many of the PhP publications. I appreciated that all staff members were willing to answer all your questions about possible pharmacyrelated career paths which was quite useful as I am going through the Oriel process. I would recommend this internship to all pharmacy students that want to experience something different from the usual pharmacy placements.

I was able to discover what a wide range of tasks are completed behind the scenes! I was able to see what hard work and dedication goes behind the release of the BNF. I would highly recommend to anyone who is interested!

I have been able to explore different ways to apply my degree. It was great to meet so many different people with different backgrounds. I would recommend this internship to anyone that is interested in the wider role a pharmacist could have.
