Human relationship
With Customers :
With Staffs :
17
This picture shows every morning when I came to the pharmacy, I would joing and
take notes from the staffs when they are havinga a training on a different types of
products to sell. The meeting was to help all the staffs gets all the information on the
brands and added some new knowledge to help customers find their needs. I will get
the benefits as well and can help the pharmacy boosts their sales too.
Sometimes, I would ask the staffs if they need help because I will gain a lot of new
knowledge and the staffs will build trust and form a healthy relationship with me.
With Pharmacists :
18
For my Pharmacist I would call them as “Miss” along with their name because it
shows I respect them as pharmacists and highlevel position than other staffs.
I would request my pharmacist to teach us students to know more about certain
poison to be dispense to customers. She will spent her free time to teach. I learned
about antishistamines, cough syrups and pills, steroid and antibiotic cream, ear
drops, eye drops, supplements, NSAIDs, antipyretic medicine and much more.
Therefore I know what to dispense to customers.
Other than that, as the stocks arrived, I would help pharmacist to put it on the racks
and do the FEFO method instead of FIFO method. This will gain my memory of where
the poisons placed. I will ask my pharmacist everything regarding the pharmacy, the
poisons, uncleared instructions and procedure.

stocks.

WEEK 4 : VITAMIN & SUPPLEMENT

Health screening
The pharmacy must have a suitable area with facilities to perform the tests and
provide counseling. Ensure that the devices used are in good order. Keep up to date
with the latest development and know when to refer patients to medical
practitioners. Before conducting the test, explain the procedure to the patient.
Big Pharmacy Saujana Utama provide health screening services everyday for patients
to check their blood pressure, glucose test in blood and cholestrol level in their
bodies.
- Glucose check
47
Once awhile customers will come and ask to check their Blood Pressure readings,
Glucose test, and cholestrols test. I would help the to check and give them advice if
they were tested turned out to be not healthy as they should. For example if the
customer’s glucose test are too high, I will advice them to take less sugary drinks,
exercise more at least 2 times a week, take supplements contains bitter melon
extract or take Nutren diabetic milks and others. This oppurtunity leads me to gain
how to read the machines and understands what patients needs.
48
Dispensing process
Dispensing refers to the process of preparing and giving medicine to a named person
on the basis of a prescription. It involves the correct interpretation of the wishes of
the prescriber and the accurate preparation and labelling of medicine for use by the
patient.
Dispense the
Storing medicines or medicine with a
Applying labels
hand over to patients strong and easy
descriptions to the
patient.
49
Labeling, & prescription content
I learnt how to label syurps and tablets when dispensing. I also get to memorize how
the usage of each products and its durations.
50
Administration, act & pharmacy’s ethics
In Big Pharmacy, I learnt a little about its administrations. Staffs are paid to do admins
work too like receiving new stock invoice into the systems, transits, and stock count.
Administration work in Big Pharmacy :
1. They are responsible for IT-related documents creation, filing, renewal, and
other related ad-hoc documentation processes
2. Monitor and track the usage of all licensed software.
3. Ensure all licensed software is properly managed and deployed in a timely
manner.
4. Generate a purchase statement for the customer to file for income tax
5. Managing company IT assets and update user records.
51
As professionals, pharmacists must use their professional skills for the benefit of their
patients and customers. Ethics involves the decision-making process required to treat
patients. Many times, the choices faced are not dealt with directly by laws.
Code of Ethics For Pharmacists 2018 has embodied minimum standards of proper
conduct and professionalism for guidance of pharmacists in Malaysia. This code also
serves as a reference when the Board considers cases of misconduct in a
professional sense.
Ethics as a pharmacist in the pharmacy:
1. Make patients your first concern
2. Be responsible of your working practices
3. Show respect for others
Use professional judgement in the interests of patients and the public
4. Encourage patients and the public to participate in decisions about their care
5. Develop your professional knowledge and competence
6. Be ethical, honest and trustworthy
52
Stock take
53
A stock take is the process of checking your inventory. Stocktaking,
otherwise known as stock counting or inventory checking, is the act of
physically verifying the quantity and condition of your sellable inventory
currently held. How much you have in stock, as well as the condition of
goods and recording the results in a report. A stock take helps you keep
track of inventory.
54
CONLUSIONS
In a nutshell, this internship has been an excellent and rewarding experience. I can
conclude that there have been a lot I’ve learnt from my work at Big Pharmacy
Saujana Utama. Needless to say, the technical aspects of the work I’ve done are not
flawless and could be improved provided enough time. As someone with no prior
experience in retail work, I believe my time spent in research and discovering it was
well worth it and contributed to finding an acceptable solution to build a fully into
retail pharmacies. Two main things that I’ve learned the importance of are time-
management skills and self-motivation.
