I studied pharmacy in my home country and worked there for about 3 years, then I worked as a pharmacist in Sweden for two years and now, for just over a year, I have been working in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I currently live in Greifensee, a beautiful little village in the canton of Zurich. Here I enjoy the tranquillity of nature and the lake. At the same time, I also enjoy the advantages of a big city like Zurich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I studied pharmacy in Spain, which is a 5-year course (300 ECTS credits), including a 6-month internship in a pharmacy. During this time, the student applies what they have learned and applies their knowledge to their daily work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I have already mentioned, I have worked as a pharmacist in 3 different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Spain, people work very hard and a lot. There are a lot of rules, but most of them are not seen so narrowly and are interpreted broadly. In my profession, there is therefore sometimes a lot of legal uncertainty in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Sweden almost nobody works 100 %, most are employed in the pharmacy with 40 - 60 %. There are a lot of rules and they are followed to the letter. The job of a pharmacist is very similar to that of a salesperson. You serve people all day long, the system does everything automatically, and the pharmacist's knowledge is almost never relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Switzerland is somewhere between Spain and Sweden. The Swiss work a lot, even if many are not employed 100 %. There are rules that are almost always followed, but the Swiss are pragmatic and understand that the patient's health comes first and that there are special situations that require exceptions. Such a system protects the pharmacist, but also the patient. Switzerland combines the best of both worlds.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
