Day Lewis chain removes controversial clauses from its new locum contract

摘要

LOCUM pharmacists will not have to "bid" for shifts with pharmacy chain Day Lewis after the company withdrew controversial clauses in its new locum contract. Another clause that gave each locum an individual performance rating has also been removed, following protests from locums and the PDA Union, along with a requirement for every locum to complete two medicines use reviews (MURs) a day as part of their contract. The changes at the centre of the row were written into the new locum contract when the paper contract was replaced by an online version developed by a software company employed by Day Lewis.
