As we did in 2008 and 2009 PL-UK are inviting locum pharmacists to complete a locum pay rate survey. The survey is open to all active locum pharmacists and is super-quick to complete with only three questions and results to-date visable on completion of the survey.

Monday, August 9th, 2010Newly qualified pharmacists welcome!
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010It gives me a warm feeling when the newly qualified pharmacists start contact PL-UK after hearing that they’ve passed their pre-reg exam. After five years of hard work and a pre-reg they are looking for either locum work or a permanent job and PL-UK are delighted to help.
Having been in the same position myself albeit 17 years ago, (we were the first year to do a pre-reg exam) I know how daunting it came be but Linda, Lynne and myself are here to help you find jobs to build your confidence and start reaping the rewards of all your hard work.

So how much can I earn as a locum pharmacist?
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010At 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!!
