KNAPS

As someone who has wanted to visit Korea for a really long time, I could have not asked for a better chance than through than SEP visiting programme. The 2 weeks went by too fast but I had the most amazing time and made the best memories.

 

We got the chance to experience different pharmaceutical companies, community pharmacy and hospital settings in Korea which was really interesting for me just because of how different the healthcare system is from the UK. My favourite visit was to SNUH, I was shocked at the size and all the departments in it. And of course I can’t forget all the free gifts and souvenirs we got along the way.

The best part of the visiting programme is being able to experience Korean culture and explore Seoul. Our amazing KNAPS team took a lot of time and effort to give us the best experiences and organise our trip. We usually split our days with a pharmacy visit and a cultural visit, they were always down to take us anywhere we wanted and let us try everything. I have a new love for karaoke now, and I tried so many foods that I still miss now that I’m back home. My memories from our Han river picnic, and all the meals and evenings together, and of course our MT trip will never be forgotten. The nights out may be forgotten though…

So if you’re thinking about coming to Korea for SEP, do it! I wish I could do it all over again. I will cherish the friendships and memories I made along the way forever. Thank you to all my new friends, our KNAPS team and our visiting team, I miss you all!! 사랑하고 너무나 보고싶어.
