Often school students have no idea of how the sciences they study can be used in the pursuit of a career such as pharmacy. The authors, all based at the University of Sussex, developed a series of experiments and clinical activities for year 7 and 8 (ages 11–13) and year 12 (ages 16–17) students based on the science that underpins the management of asthma and linked this to the current core curriculum for their newly developed Masters in Pharmacy (MPharm) degree programme. The experience was designed to demonstrate the benefits of the use of integrated sciences in the management of asthma by pharmacists. Students from both age groups enjoyed these activities and would consider studying pharmacy at higher education level, appreciating the range of skills and knowledge involved in the study of pharmacy.
