We are looking for a pharmacist with hospital experience to work 9-1pm Saturday and Sunday for six months. The position is in North East England and would attract a rate of £35 per hour. Call Shaun on 0800 8818844 for more details.
So we finally have guidance on what constitutes “enough” CPD each year. The Council have deemed that we need to be completing nine entries to our CPD register each year. I think it’s good that they have finally come up with a number but my issue has always been, what is CPD? I’ve been qualified for 15 years but I still learn something new every day I work. My recent exposure to the prison sector has highlighted that I need to refresh my knowledge on anti-psychotics, but does reading the BNF section on anti-psychotics count as CPD?
If someone can let me know that would be great… and does finding out what constitutes CPD count as one of my annual nine!!
The other issue around CPD is access for locum pharmacists to “formal” CPD. I struggle to make it to CPPE workshops but like the interactive e-learning programmes because I can complete these in my own time and at my own pace.
I’d be interested in other pharmacists opinions. I’ve always thought a virtual CPPE workshop using Webex or similar would be popular amongst locums.

At the end of a process lasting more almost twelve months I’m delighted to announce that we have been chosen as a supplier to the NHS Framework agreement for the supply of Allied Healthcare Professionals and Health Science Services (AHP and HSS) .
This means that will be able to supply locum pharmacists and locum pharmacy technicians to Hospitals throughout England and Wales for the next three years.
As a result we are looking for both hospital locum pharmacists and technicians to join are database. We have negotiated good rates to attract candidates and we’d be delighted to work with you in the future.
If you haven’t worked in hospital pharmacy before but would be interested in doing so, don’t worry. Due to workforce shortages many hospital pharmacies have experience “converting” community pharmacists into the ways of working of the hospital sector.
CRB, Occupational Therapy and mandatory training are needed for all candidates but PL-UK can sort all this out for you.

Agency Workers Regulations – how does it effect me?
The simple answer is it doesn’t. …. in most cases. For more expert guidance than I can supply as a pharmacist rather than a legal bod please click on the link below. http://www.pcg.org.uk/cms/documents/01109%20PCG%20A4%2020PP%20BROCHURE%20SINGLE%20PAGES.pdf
