Woodspeen Training (WT): What made you choose to participate in the Skills Bootcamp in Pharmacy? 
Rebecca Wigmore (RW): I wanted to do something with my life other than being a parent and I was looking for something to do with medicine, so my work coach got me on to the Skills Bootcamp in Pharmacy. 

WT: How have you found the programme? 
RW: It’s been very good and very intriguing and interesting. 

WT: What were your favourite parts and why? 
RW: There were a few but the main part is the science side of things I enjoy science and find it really interesting. 

Also doing a work placement at Manor Pharmacy, I really enjoyed actually trying it out in a pharmacy and meeting the staff there.
