I see where you're coming from, I often feel the same, although less emphatically (My compacy has appreciated the non-MUR work I do). My question to you is why don't you quit and become a locum or look for a new job in a new company if you're so damn unhappy being a "regular" pharmacist
I think Pharmacists must share blame if we're too gutless to change jobs when conditions suck.

1. We get institutionalised.
2. We generally have a sense of loyality. Sometimes misplaced!
3. Sometimes we are tied with a 3 or even 6 months notice clause in our contract.
I've been to places that are absolutely the pits as a locum or relief manager and wondered how any pharmacist could be the permanent manager.
This brings on another idea for a new posting.

Re:MUR Pressure
THANK-YOU!! I am sooo glad you wrote this about MURs Its exactly how I feel.
We are short staffed, the workload is horrendous drowning in work which can never be finished and all the managers care about is how many MURs you have done. So all the pharmacists I know are trying to do MURs which can be done in 10-15 minutes as it takes too long to do the 10 item prescriptions,because if you take too long you get told off. Too much to do, too little time.
Job satisfaction-yeah right!

Do not be bullied into undertaking MUR's against your better judgement. Check out the code of ethics, the seven principles should support you. I am not against MUR's I enjoy doing them, but only when appropiate and when they will not jepodise the safe running of the dispensary. We are professionals and should behave as such and if that means going against managers and area managers so be it.

However, doing so does make your job much less enjoyable as you gain labels like "not a team player". Hence (whisper: voting with your feet) becoming a locum then finding a job with a very small independent...

Re:MUR pressure
What I want to know is when you are on your deathbed will your maker above ask you how many MURs you have done? In the general scheme of things does it really matter (obviously it does in your job). Who sets these unachievable targets and now we are being asked to do more and more.It never ends! It only gets worse and now Xmas is coming and the pressure will increase-LOVELY! just what we need!

Lets hope the targets will be relaxed if the expected H1N1 surge happens.
