So how much can I earn as a locum pharmacist?
At PL-UK we get asked this a lot. It all depends on the area you live in, the sector you work in and your additional expertise.
For a standard locum booking you should be looking for at leat £25 per hour for emergency bookings rising to £30 plus 2 hours in very hard to fill areas. For bookings you make well ahead closer to £22 per hour may be the norm, especially in the South, £25 in the North.. If you book direct with the supermarkets and larger chains expect a slightly higher rate initially but this will drop as they get you on their booking direct hook – they don’t make £millions of pounds of profit by paying the best rates long term!
For really good rates specialist knowledge is the key. For locum prescribing advisors we are currently securing rates of £40 per hour plus one hour’s travel time, In the hospital sector specialist knowledge at AFC banding 8a will secure similar rates. And the thing is, these people are excellent value for money. One of our locum prescribing advisor’s has saved two practices over £80,000 per annum each in three months working just two days per week!!
