Featured Pharmacist Locums
We all know that not all locum pharmacists are the same. There are some absolutely fantastic locums out there and some who are, to put it nicely, conservative with their effort! Why then do some locum coordinators treat them all the same?
I think the answer lies in the plans they are given. They usually have a plan (paper or computer based) with “gaps” in pharmacist resource they need to cover. The see pharmacists simply as a means to fill the gap and in that context, they are right. All pharmacists, whatever their experience, work ethic or cost achieve the same outcome – a filled gap. My argument has always been that not all locum pharmacists are the same in terms of value for money.
At PL-UK we are very proud of our locums we work with and we feel that in many cases they are superior to the locums supplied by other agencies. We simply won’t use locums who regularly cancel bookings due to sickness, unreliable cars etc as to us, this is indicative of a locum with low levels of professionalism. Everyone can be sick every once in a while but every Monday!!! However we will use locum pharmacists who provide an excellent level of service from the time they arrive at a pharmacy.
Featured Locums is our answer to the lack of differentiation between locums. Our featured locums have all worked through PL-UK for some time and have excellent feedback from previous pharmacies they have worked for. They have shown a level of professionalism we are happy to actively promote and tend to be the locums who’s diary we fill first.
So don’t just book a locum…book a PL-UK featured locum!
