Apologies

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I’m helping out a prison who have been left without a pharmacist after their pharmacy manager went off sick with stress. It’s a typical story of non-pharmacists not understanding the pressures pharmacists are put unde by increased work load and more importantly, increases paperwork required by PCT’s. i have no problem with the people who work for PCT’s, on the whole they are trying to do their best, it’s the culture and constant state of flux that means that they will never achieve their goals…. before the next re-organisation/name change/merger!

Normal service will be resumed soon….promise.

It has always been assumed that locum pharmacists can earn more during the summer months to my knowledge, never been studied. Please find a link below to the results of a survey carried out in August 2009 by PL-UK looking at the average hourly rate obtained by locums and comparing it to the rates obtained during April 2009.
