Alumni Testimonial: Eric Tee Wei Seong (2016)
Welcome and congratulations on being offered the opportunity to study pharmacy at UoN! UoN is one of the most reputable universities in the pharmacy sector and I have never been prouder to be a UoN graduate. The 2+2 course is surely one of the highlights as it provides an opportunity to experience student life in both Malaysia and the UK.
I can contentedly say that my years at the University have been challenging yet highly satisfying. The pharmacy course at UoN has equipped me with the knowledge needed to be a professional pharmacist in a wide range of sectors, including community, hospital, the pharmaceutical industry, research and academia. In addition, the pharmacy course has also sharpened my transferable skills such as communication skills, leadership skills and team-working skills.
In just a few months, I will be completing pre-registration training at Wellbeing Pharmacy in Coventry. As a pre-registration pharmacist, I am constantly using my clinical knowledge and perfecting soft skills to improve patient care whilst dealing with patients of various backgrounds. I have had an enjoyable and memorable time working in this forward-thinking, independent chain community pharmacy. I am proud to say that I have also successfully secured a pharmacist and pharmacy manager position with Wellbeing Pharmacy.
Inevitably, I have been through many ups and downs over the past five years. These experiences have given me strengths to persevere on and I am willing to try and improve myself every day. Here I would like to leave a couple of words for you – seize every occasion and opportunity to broaden your horizons. I sincerely hope that you enjoy your time at the University as much as I did.
Eric is currently working at an independent chain community pharmacy at Coventry, UK.
