Are you feeling overwhelmed by pharmacology, prescribing, PSA, OSPAP or an upcoming assessment?
You're not alone...
Many healthcare students and professionals struggle with confidence, revision strategy, time pressure and the challenge of balancing study alongside work, family commitments and everyday life.

At Pharmascholar, our mission is to help busy healthcare students and professionals succeed when time is limited, confidence is low, and the stakes are high.
Dr Mike Davies, Clinical Prescribing Tutor & Founder.
We believe that academic success is built on five core values that guide every learner interaction, every tutoring session, and every support programme we provide.
Empathy
We understand that balancing study alongside work, family commitments, placements and professional responsibilities can feel overwhelming.
Many learners come to us feeling under pressure, lacking confidence or unsure where to start. Every learner deserves support, encouragement and understanding without judgement.
Clarity
Complex topics become manageable when explained clearly.
Whether you're struggling with pharmacology, prescribing, calculations, clinical reasoning or exam preparation, our aim is to simplify difficult concepts and help you focus on what matters most.
Confidence
Many capable learners struggle not because they lack ability, but because they lack confidence.
We help students and professionals develop belief in their knowledge, skills and ability to succeed through personalised support and practical guidance.
Focus
Time is valuable.
We help learners identify high-impact areas, prioritise effectively and make the best use of limited study time so that progress feels achievable rather than overwhelming.
Success
Everything we do is centred on helping learners improve performance, achieve their goals and move forward with confidence.
Success may mean passing the PSA, completing an Independent Prescribing course, overcoming an MPharm resit, succeeding in OSPAP, or simply regaining confidence in your academic ability.
"Helping You Move From Uncertainty to Confidence, From Confusion to Clarity, and From Pressure to Progress."
Dr Mike Davies, Clinical Prescribing Tutor & Founder.
Many students assume they are the only person finding pharmacology, prescribing or calculations difficult.
That simply isn't true.
During my own studies, I experienced first-hand how challenging some aspects of pharmacy education could be. Through effective study strategies, persistence and support, I developed the confidence and skills needed to succeed and eventually build a career as a pharmacist, university educator and Prescribing Lead.
Those experiences shape the way I teach today.
I understand what it feels like to:
Feel overwhelmed
Struggle with confidence
Be short on time
Worry about passing
Feel stuck
Balance study alongside other responsibilities
My role is to help simplify the process, identify what's holding you back and help you move forward with a clear and achievable plan.
"It was really good to chat with you Dr Mike, the advice that you gave me was really good it really helped me with my osce, thank you soo much I will deffo be happy to speak to you when I struggle with any of my subjects especially chemistry." - Miss ZH, MPharm Student, July 2026.
