Pharmacy

0:09
I love working here because of the team spirit

0:12
and the huge amount of teamwork that goes into providing all our pharmacy services.

0:17
I've only just started,

0:18
but I already feel part of the team, which is really helped me feel settled.

0:22
In our first two weeks we had an induction which was really well organised and structured,

0:27
which allowed us to settle with ease and get to know everyone quickly.

0:31
Everyone here are really friendly and there's always someone here to lend a hand

0:34
if you need any help.

0:36
We're all friends, we all look after and support each other and it's a really lovely place to work.

0:42
I love pharmacy because the environment is so good,

0:45
people are so friendly and managers are so helpful.

0:48
Any problems you have,

0:51
the manager's always there to give us support.

0:54
We have like a big family supporting each other in our daily and weekly tasks.

1:02
There is really no blame culture even if you make an error,

1:06
everybody's looking out for each other.

1:08
One thing about me, for example, is from my prayer breaks that everyone is just happy

1:12
and flexible to let me have my breaks, for example, and switch breaks for my prayer times.

1:17
Central Pharmacy is a great place to work because it has an amazingly positive work environment.

1:22
No day is the same so one day I could be supervising work experience, could be doing career events,

1:28
helping trainees through their coursework, training people in dispensary.

1:32
So it's a very varied role.

1:34
There's career progression and I like caring for our patients.

1:38
Working for CUH means working with a huge supportive group, especially a group

1:44
that encourages you for professional growth and personal growth as well.

1:49
They invest in you as a person, including supporting us with masters degrees and in my case,

1:56
a Global Health Fellowship, which has allowed me to do some volunteer work abroad in Uganda.

2:03
I love the diversity of job roles here, and there's so many different ways

2:07
that you can grow your career in jobs that just don't necessarily exist elsewhere.

2:12
And this has really put me in a good place for thinking about where I want

2:15
to specialise my future career.

2:17
I've been working here at Addenbrooke's for 13 years,

2:21
and I have done many different roles, and I do look forward

2:24
to seeing what else is available because there's always something available.

2:29
It means that I can have work

2:30
that is purposeful, but at the same time part of a wider and bigger community.

2:35
at CUH.
