Locums: Let us know your free days If you are a locum pharmacist you can help us give you more shifts and achieve an even faster turn around with our locum requests by letting us know when you are available to do locum shifts.  There are two ways you can do this:1. Let us know your availability on the locum availability form, where it will automatically register on our calendar so we can call you first. 2. Notify us by email, phone, telegram, Live Chat or SMS your availability one week in advance, for example every Sunday.  One week is a good length of time as timetables can change quite rapidly.   Locums: Let us know your free days If you are a locum pharmacist you can help us give you more shifts and achieve an even faster turn around with our locum requests by letting us know when you are available to do locum shifts.  There are two ways you can do this:1.

We need to manually enter all registrants in to our system. This is because we check who is registering with us to ensure they are qualified pharmacists. This may take a few days. There are other reasons why you may not be getting an SMS: We generally reserve SMS as a last resort. Emails, facebook, web push, Telegram and twitter are reliable forms of communication.  We prefer Telegram. Make sure we are in your address book. That way we wont be mistaken for spam! Did you register with the right details? Sometimes the wrong details are registered in to our system. Give us a call to double check. We also work on feedback from employers. Positive feedback plays a significant role in call you back specifically for new shifts… The better the feedback, the more shifts you get. Keep in touch. By keeping us up to date with your available days we can contact you directly when we know shifts suit your calendar!

Different pharmacies will pay different rates or set amounts to help you travel to their pharmacy as compensation.  However, not all pharmacies do so and you should negotiate this BEFORE you begin or accept your shift.
