A pharmacy retail counter assistant course that is exempt from course fees will start on September 26 at GRETB Training Centre in Mervue, Galway.
This pharmacy retail counter assistant course will give you extensive knowledge of over the counter (OTC ) medicines, which is essential in a job like this, as well as patient counselling skills, knowing when to refer to the pharmacist, and how to interact with customers in a retail setting. This course has been running for 20 years and GRETB regularly provides staff to pharmacies in both full and part time positions as well as progression to further roles and training.
Pharmacy sales assistants deal professionally and confidently with customers on a large range of health, personal care, and beauty issues. They are well groomed, enjoy dealing with people, and enjoy work that is varied, fulfilling, and rewarding.

More and more people today are realising the importance of physical wellbeing and are relying on community pharmacies for products and knowledge. This may be the perfect opportunity for you to build your career in this industry.
