Pharmacy Solutions streamline locum booking and improve satisfaction with Locate a Locum Unlimited

Overview

Pharmacy Solutions alleviates the strain on Urgent and Emergency Care facilities by leveraging the expertise of community pharmacists through remote consultations. This includes the provision of urgent medication supplies, referrals for minor illnesses, and consultations within established clinical pathways. Pharmacists and locum pharmacists are trained to identify symptoms indicative of serious conditions such as sepsis, meningitis, and cancer during consultations. Depending on the consultation, outcomes may include self-care guidance, over-the-counter medication recommendations, and referrals to General Practitioners or other healthcare professionals.

Challenges

Pharmacy Solutions struggled to recruit locums through traditional agencies and WhatsApp groups. They needed access to a high volume of compliant locums to meet their business needs. Another key element was to ensure they could recruit locums with the necessary compliance requirements and accreditations.
