Pharmacist Support Student Ambassadors

Calling pharmacy students

 We're pleased to support Pharmacist Support's search for Student Ambassadors from schools of pharmacy across Great Britain.

This is a fantastic opportunity to represent your school and Pharmacist Support, champion student wellbeing and help raise awareness of the support available to pharmacy students and the wider pharmacy family.

As part of a growing network, Student Ambassadors will help share information, promote wellbeing initiatives and connect fellow students with support when they need it most. It's also a great way to develop leadership skills, build your professional network and enhance your CV.

If you're passionate about supporting your peers and making a positive impact within the pharmacy profession, we'd encourage you to apply.
