Technicians who feel they are pharmacists

[janeN]

I'm perhaps one of them "Techs". I look upon the dispensary as my responsiblity. I don't do all the jobs but I make sure its run exactly as the company and law requires. But my boss (Pharmacist) is the boss and what she says goes.....I trust her 100%, and I hope she feels the same with me.

The company I work for have given me their trust to run the place properly. I can't let them down.



Maybe you've come across a Tech who takes her/his job seriously. But I can assure you, they are not wannabe's. I have never worked with a Tech/Assistant who thought they were above the Pharmacist. I have, unfortunately worked with a couple of Pharmacists who thought we Support staff were beneath them................

Right on dude!!!! I dont like being looked down on as a lowly tech when i worked in community i ran the dispensaries and made sure they ran right - However i have total respect for any pharmacist locum or regular!!

Exactly but respect has to be earned on both sides.
Age can be another issue. Some people don't like been asked or told what to do by a younger person. I have no problem with this, whoever is in charge is in charge. Some of the locums we have had have been young enough to be my son but they still have the final word when it comes to prescriptions.
