Baring any emergencies or extreme weather events (Look at met office for the end of the week!) today should be my last day working as a locum pharmacist this side of Christmas but does this mean an easy ride to the holiday season? Oh no!
At PL-UK we are working on two exciting improvements to the service we provide both clients and pharmacists/pharmacy staff. One of these improves the service we provide to locum pharmacists and the other will redically change the service we provide to pharmacists and pharmacy technicians looking for new permanent pharmacy jobs.
Watch this space for more information … and I hope the snow stays away!
Don’t forget that PL-UK are very sociable. We have a facebook fanpage http://www.facebook.com/facepluk or you can follow Shaun on Twitter @shaun_at_PLUK
New Registrations – the end of the month will see an influx of pharmacists onto the RPSGB register and PL-UK are here to help all the one’s who are looking to locum post-registration. PL-UK know how to look after newly qualifieds as Shaun has been one himself (although a while ago now!) and the last seven years has enabled us to build up expertise in supporting pharmacists who are new to the register. We won’t throw you in the deep end, we’ll make sure you work in branches with good support, who pay on time and who we would be happy to work with ourselves.
To talk to a member of the PL-UK prior to getting your RPSGB registration number please call 0800 8818844 from a land line or 0333 123 3344 from a mobile and ask to speak to Linda or Lynne
I’m not sure if i should admit this in public…. but i like to tweet! I’ve been using Twitter for about six 
months now and find it a great way to stay in touch with people and also a fantastic way to get the latest news on big events. Great examples of this were the recent uprisings in Iran and the Hudson River plane landing. In both events Twitter was way ahead of traditional media and in fact, became the story.
My question to pharmacists in do you tweet? If you do great, if not, why not? You don’t have to write long prose as you do in emails and there’s no need to populate twitter with lots of daft pictures, as you do in Facebook. It’s therefore ideal for busy professionals to stay in touch. We are even thinking of tweeting out job opportunities, in particular emergency locum jobs.
So if you want to tweet, tweet me at http://www.twitter.com/shaun_at_PLUK
Many thanks for all those pharmacists who have responded to our call for locum pharmacists to cover in the event of an acceleration in the number of pharmacists affected by the swine flu virus. We are still looking for locum pharmacists to cover in Scotland, South West and North East England and South Wales.
Outside these area’s we still need more locums, so please either email PL-UK on support@pluk.co.uk, send us a Tweet at http://www.twitter.com/shaun_at_PLUK or call us on 0800 0620548 – our dedicated Swine Flu hotline
Agency Workers Regulations – how does it effect me?
The simple answer is it doesn’t. …. in most cases. For more expert guidance than I can supply as a pharmacist rather than a legal bod please click on the link below. http://www.pcg.org.uk/cms/documents/01109%20PCG%20A4%2020PP%20BROCHURE%20SINGLE%20PAGES.pdf
One in a lifetime opportunity – pharmacist required in Tonga
We have been approached by a not for profit pharmacy in the Kingdom of Tonga asking us to recruit a pharmacist to work at one of the health centres in the Kingdom. This opportunity will definately not come up again for if you fancy a complete change of scene and an opportunity to live on [...]
Just a quick post to remind all pharmacist that they need to renew their GPhC registration by the 31st October. So you still have a month to pay but if you are anything like me, if you don’t do it now, there’s a chance you’ll forget!
