The most important thing in the interview was to have the MUR accreditation. They asked me about my experience in Spain and why I wanted to work in the UK. After attending the MUR course and learning how the system works, I was able to compare and explain why I wanted to work in the UK as a pharmacist. In the interview they gave me two case scenarios and I had to say what questions I'd ask the patients. I found it very easy having done the course.

I think it is a very useful course. I'd definitely recommend the course because as well as preparing you for MUR, you realise how different and interesting it would be to work as a pharmacist in the UK. I feel much more confident now about finding a job in the UK.
