About this Event

In this workshop, participants will use their understanding of large and small numbers in an exciting real-world context - the world of medicines and Ph*rm*cy.

They will practise applying their maths skills to measure, calculate, and check amounts, ensuring that each medicine is prepared correctly. Accuracy is one of the most important skills in this role, as patients rely on pharmacists to provide the right amount of medicine. By the end of the workshop, they will understand the importance of accurate maths and will have experienced what it is like to be a pharmacist.

For children who have just completed Years 5 and 6 this term - please book based on your child’s current/most recent school year, not their new year group from September. This typically corresponds to children aged around 9–11 years old. We reserve the right to refund or deny entry to those who are not in the correct year group.

Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.
