Women pharmacists are extremely fortunate compared with others

摘要

I was interested to read the excellent paper by Wendy Gidman and colleagues exploring female community pharmacist' views on their remuneration(PJ,2 June,p645).Only one of the interviewees(R8)mentioned that "I sort of benefited from doing some management and that wasn't taken away from me".Female pharmacists are indeed extremely fortunate that when they come to work on a part-time basis they are often the manager in charge of the pharmacy for the period that they are on duty,and their rates of pay should be no different to their full-time or male colleagues.
