THE NEED FOR LOCUMS

Australian regulations stipulate that a pharmacy cannot open its doors to the public if a pharmacist is not present on site. As such there is immense pressure on pharmacy-owners to ensure that pharmacists are always available and able to work during open hours. This in turn puts pressure on pharmacists to always be fit, healthy and have stability away from work to enure that they can turn up to work everyday.

From time to time, whether due to illness, or external factors beyond our control, turing up to a rostered shift is simply not possible. This leaves the owner of the pharmacy with two options:

  • Frantically search through the contact list trying to find a locum pharmacist that can work
  • Close the shop until such a time that a locum can be found

The revenue lost in an unscheduled closed day is hard to make up. The goodwill and trust lost from consumers is near impossible to recuperate.

That’s where we come in.

About us

Flat Rate Pharmacy Locums was an idea that was born when our director was working as the sole Pharmacist-In-Charge of a small pharmacy in Canberra. One day, he fell ill and was forced to search for a reasonably priced and well qualified locum to cover him for the day. After contacting other agencies he was shocked at the prices being charged and the difficulty in getting definite answers. As a result, he was forced to work the next day, with a fever and fishing for sympathy from anyone that would listen. From that day, he decided to begin making a company that would fill the void, and not take advantage of desperate pharmacies.

Gathering a group of enthusiastic pharmacists, with years of experience in the pharmacy industry, Taha and the team understand the stresses involved in finding a locum. The damage done to the reputation of the pharmacy after a a dispruptive change of pharmacist (even if it’s just for a short period of time) can in some cases force pharmacists to work while sick, or while going through emotional stress.

At Flat Rate Pharmacy Locums our locums represent us, and as such, we do not accept anything but the best. Our locum pharmacists go through a rigorous HR process, including personal and professional references to ensure that the highest quality pharmacists are able to take care of your pharmacy while you are away.
