Pill Counter:when you are doing your MURs in a shop, are you the sole pharmacist there, or can you devote yourself to them without interruptions?
Zoggite when I was doing MURs I was second pharmacist for the session. We booked in people at 20 min intervals to try to make it cost-effective as it costs something like £26 to £28 per hour to do MURs for the employer. Do you note that I use 'was' a lot. Just heard today that job being made redundant as not economically viable. Congratulations to all the twerps who negotiated the New Contract.
