Four years ago, I came to the UK. I’m originally from Egypt and I’m a qualified pharmacist in my home country. I’d worked in both community and hospital pharmacy, although I spent the majority of my career working in the hospital sector. I left my country in September 2017; my family and I felt unsafe, and so we had to claim asylum in the UK. It was a stressful and di%cult experience, and it took some time to get permission to remain. Nonetheless, I was enthusiastic to learn the language and integrate well into the community, so I enrolled in college and achieved my advanced level English. I then looked into becoming registered as a pharmacist in the UK. However, I found it really di%cult to navigate the search; I wasn’t even sure where to start looking for information.
