I never thought we would also be known as the student pharmacists of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.

I started my journey as a student pharmacist on 6th January this year. My experiential learning placement was a split placement between the Mater Private Cork, and McCauley’s Pharmacy, Mahon Point, Cork. This placement was unique, as the pharmacy serviced the Mater Private Cork. Thus I had the benefit of experiencing both the community and hospital settings on a weekly basis.
