Results of C+D and PDA Union survey 2010

So how does your salary, bonus and condition compare to your peers? The C+D and PDA have carried out a survey this year of over 2000 pharmacists.

Some of the interesting results include:

  • A remarkably similar locum rate amongst the multiples. Interesting!.
  • A 11% difference in salary for full-time employed men and women.
  • Big differences between multiples with reward to bonuses paid.
  • 88% of respondents stating that there had been an increase in paperwork in the last year.

For more information click on the links below which will take you to the C+D website (Please note, the results are found in two sections therefore you will need to click on both links below)

Interesting artice from the PJ about locum pharmacists

Click on the link below to read article on PJ Online – health warning -it’s written by the NHS workforce review team so slightly biased!
