MY VERSION OF A PHARMACIST CREED

Today I just want to think of my devotion to my profession.

I have to disclose though that I borrowed this heavily from the US Coast Guard.

'I am proud to be a Pharmacist.

I revere that long line of expert APOTHECARIES, COMPOUNDERS and PHARMACISTS who succeeded them as we know today, and who continue to evolve in new roles that I can only imagine now and those that I’m unable to yet; who by their devotion to duty and sacrifice of self have made it possible for me to be a member of a service honoured and respected, throughout the world.

I never, by word or deed, will bring reproach upon the fair name of my service, nor permit others to do so unchallenged.

I will always be on time for all my duties, and shall endeavour to do more, rather than less, than my share.
I shall, so far as I am able, bring to my seniors solutions, not problems.

I shall live joyously, but always with due regard for the rights and privileges of others.
I shall endeavour to be a model citizen in the community in which I live.
I shall sell life dearly to an enemy, but give it freely to rescue those in peril.

With God’s help, I shall endeavour to be one of His noblest Works...
