Business Seminar for Pharmacy Students
23.09.2009

Final-year Pharmacy students at UCC are this week (September 21st-23rd) participating in a three-day Business Seminar at the university.
The seminar, sponsored by United Drug, provides the students with the opportunity to hear presentations from a range of experts.  Speakers from United Drug along with Human Resources personnel, as well as established Pharmacy businesses within the Munster region, will discuss a range of topics. The Bank of Ireland is offering specialist advice on financial planning and investing for the future.  Guest speaker, Professor Mick Molloy, Consultant Rheumatologist (former Ireland Lock and Irish Rugby Union’s first ever Medical Officer) will focus on leadership and motivation in his talk “Leadership, Ethics and Moral Fibre”.

The final session of the programme will cover the theme “Career Opportunities” followed by Presentation of Seminar Certificates by Mr Barry Scannell, United Drug.   

As Professor Julia Kennedy, UCC Professor of Clinical Practice, explains: “Demand for places at UCC’s School of Pharmacy is very high and this is due to the existence within UCC of one of the most exciting pharmacy training facilities in Europe. By introducing such innovative teaching programmes, a common theme of UCC’s College of Medicine and Health, we aim to ensure that community pharmacies, hospital pharmacies and the pharmaceutical industry are provided with the very best of graduates.”
