Pharmacies could not function without locums

摘要

I think that the Broad spectrum (PJ, 15 May 2010, p474) and Leading article (ibid, p466) about locum pharmacists were unfair and inaccurate.It may be the case that the 2008 workforce census reported that 23.1 per cent of all respondents worked as community pharmacy locums, but did this figure take into account that a significant proportion of these will be regular locums who work for the same company on the same day or every day of the week? They are not transient workers.
