A 3rd update on Attachment

According to Prof Peter Pook,

it is better to do community pharmacy attachments near your home.
Doing an attachment doesn't mean you will get paid.

You can get referrals from your tutor and pharmacies you were attached to and bring it to Glasgow to be used when applying for a summer attachment there.

Updates on Hospital attachment

This is with reference to the previous post regarding the hospital attachment.

To the MQ students,
I've been informed that you can also do attachments at community pharmacies like Watsons and Guardian. Besides that, I've been advised by our seniors to do the attachments during the coming semester 3 break because it will definitely be easier to get a summer placement in UK, that is if u want to do an attachment during the summer holidays.

I'll be getting more info from Mr. David Chong. So, stay tuned :P

"All MQ students are encouraged to do an attachment with a community pharmacy before leaving for Scotland (Sem 4's sem break will be too short), as this will increase the chances of the MQs to get a place for the summer placement (as only 1 or 2 P108 MQ students got the placement). Summer placement increases the chances of MQs for their pharmacy pre-registration, as it is quite competitive in Scotland. MPs are also encouraged to do it too." Wee Kiat, P108

Applying for Hospital Attachment

To P109 MQs.

1. Prepare a formal letter and address it to Registrar.
2. The content inside should include your details:

name, address, intake/program, id, ic, contact number and what purpose of the letter (Title).

3. Send the letter to AAD (Ms. Noorul or Ms. Sarinah).


4. It takes 2 or 3 working days to get the approval. AAD will inform you to collect the letter.

5. After receiving the approved letter, you can send it to whichever hospital you choose to be attached to.


Please take note:
1. The letter from IMU is just an acknowledgment letter as proof that you are a student of IMU.
2. This attachment does not give you credits in Uni. of Strathclyde. It is just for extra exposure/experience. Therefore, it is NOT COMPULSORY to do the attachment.
3. Some hospital attachments will charge a fee.
