Why each paragraph is there

  1. I am applying for the Pharmacy Manager post at your Oadby branch. I am a GPhC-registered pharmacist with six years in community pharmacy, and I am second pharmacist at a high-street branch dispensing about 9,000 items a month.

    The post, your registration and the volume you work at.

  2. I carry out clinical checks and resolve queries with our GP practices, and I run our consultation room: blood pressure checks, flu vaccinations and the minor illness service, about 60 consultations a week.

    Clinical work and the services you run.

  3. I train two dispensers and a pharmacy technician, and each month I review near misses with the team so the same mistake does not happen twice. I also manage our controlled drugs records and the branch stock order.

    Safety and training, which matter most in a manager.

  4. I would value running a branch with a growing services list like Oadby's. My CV is attached. Thank you for considering my application.

    Why this branch, then the CV.
