So thankful CPS has rejected the deal. However are the multiples and essentially Company Chemists' Association up to a load of skulduggery? Read the next tweet.

#Pharmacy translator: “It will free up pharmacists’ time” = “…to spend at home. Pharmacists will be freed up from the constraints of having a job”

Just a reminder for those who think locums are asking for “stupid” rates. We’re not even asking for a pay rise. Just the same rate as 22 years ago.

Tohidul Islam MRPharmS 🇵🇸 It baffles me why locums are working for less then £30ph why do they panic and accepts such poor rates most locums don’t know how to negotiate they don’t teach then at uni! Theses locums then ruin it for the rest of us! We all have bills to pay some are smarters

King k Scottish pharmacist voice. Tohidul Islam MRPharmS 🇵🇸 And with certain multiples now not paying for mileage or accommodation, why would you travel any distance from home? Remote and rural areas are being hit hardest

wonder if ‘ the 300’ suffered ‘temporary closures’ when Boots instructed branches to close or share pharmacists from nearby branches instead of paying for locums, coupled with Failures to attract staff to fill vacancies to replace those who fled poor working conditions 🤔

Taiwo Owatemi All-Party Pharmacy Group @BootsPharmNews Taiwo Owatemi you may want to ask Boots of the pharmacies planned to close , how many of them were reporting ‘temporary closures’ due to ‘unable to find locum cover’ then ask what’s their current agenda on locum £ rates & why the don’t allow for ‘negotiation’ of shifts by locums

📺 WATCH: Community pharmacies must be hubs for local healthcare. But when women are having to search high & low for prescription HRT medication due to supply chain issues & high street pharmacies continue to close we can see the system isn't working under the Tories.

Conversation between a locum and pharmacy manager at Tesco. Looks like locum rates do go up - only for “close friends” though!

So much for a ‘’locum first’’company …Locate a Locum …

Same shifts, significantly different rates. No pharmacist will book with Locate a Locum . Folks make sure you check other agencies rates!

1/4 Hello Well Pharmacy a number of Locums have reported receiving this kind of email. If pharmacists in general think that range is too low can they all just ask to be removed from your database? I suppose it’ll save you the hassle of having to negotiate?

Yass. Well said Leyla Hannbeck But the problem is the same useless faces seem to be in all the committees/boards/leader positions. chemistanddruggist.co.uk/CD137183/AIMp-…

Today is Saturday 9/9/23 So Well Pharmacy are planning to close branches and share a pharmacist between branches next Saturday 16/9/23. They aren't even hiding the fact they aren't looking for cover. NHS Fife Pharmacy and Medicines Directorate you are being robbed. As are taxpayers! The PDA NHS Scotland Counter Fraud
