This article reports on the findings of the study that set out to investigate the views of pharmacy preregistration trainees regarding their placement tutors. The study adopted a quantitative survey approach and questionnaires were used to collect data. The questionnaires were diversified such that they contained both open-ended and closed-ended items. The participants were purposefully selected, resulting in 14 of them. The resulting data was analysed using paper, pencil and calculator, due to the sample size. The result shows that while a majority of trainees were positive about their placement tutors, a minority raised very important concerns that are the focus of this article. The concerns include insufficient support from the tutors; lack of clear direction of their placement; tutor lacks necessary skills to support trainees; lack of clearly agreed plan or structure for their placement. Also one trainee felt that her tutor treated her like a small child. The conclusion is that although the study sample size was small, serious and relevant concerns have been raised that need serious attention. Otherwise preregistration trainees may go through the placement without a clear demonstration of requisite competencies.
