CREATED FROM EXPERIENCE.
BUILT TO HELP OTHERS.

Pharmacy Standard was founded by Jessica Egerton following more than 15 years working in community pharmacy across Ireland and Australia.

The Survival Guide grew from a simple idea: to create the kind of practical resource Jessica wished she’d had when she was starting out.

“Pharmacy isn’t about knowing everything, it’s about knowing where to find the answer and about caring enough to keep learning.”

Starting your pharmacy career?

Whether newly qualified or starting your first community pharmacy role, the Survival Guide provides practical support for the situations, terminology and responsibilities you’ll encounter every day.

FOR PHARMACY OWNERS & MANAGERS
