[quote=bob.dunkley@btinternet.co;11890]I'm a new-comer to the world of pharmacy locuming, but am getting on in years, and have been round pharmacy a long time!! I want every pharmacist reading this, to applaud the assistant, who runs the place, who argues with the GPs (and receptionists - spawn of the devil), who knows that Mrs Smith's insulin will have to be ordered, who recognises every methadone patient as they come in thus saving you the job of interogating them to establish identity, who does a thousand and one other jobs, to make YOUR life easier, and then at the end of the day gets paid a pittance for their labours. In these days of multiples being run on locums (Never a good idea) the day to day servicing of the patient devolves down onto these ladies - almost always ladies, but there are some gentlemen out there!!
As i said, I am new to this world, and no doubt there are the assistants from hell out there, but I have yet to meet them - famous last words!!
