Is it better to do a master's abroad or gain work experience in my current field in UK?

Given your strong background in pharmacy and 5 years of work experience, pursuing a master's abroad or gaining further experience both have distinct benefits. A master's can deepen your expertise, offer international exposure, and open doors to advanced roles - especially if you are aiming for positions that require global qualifications. In the UK, relevant work experience like yours is often valued alongside academic credentials for pharmacy-related master's programs. On the other hand, continuing to build on your professional experience may lead to leadership or specialized roles within your current field. The best path depends on your career goals and whether you prioritize international advancement or growth within your current trajectory.
