There is enough after hours stuff as it is. The shutters go down but these days you have to sort stuff out so that you start the next day in a known state, takes another half hour before hitting the road - that's unpaid as it is. Mad I know, but only way to keep some sanity in the dispensary these days.

If it takes me half an hour extra to get the dispensary in a reasonable condition - I'll always charge for the extra half hour. I don't think its right that we pharmacists should be doing this for free if we've worked hard without a break during the day, so hard that we usually don't even get to eat lunch without getting up several times.

I do get £5 for any MUR conducted. The shame is that only one of the multiples I work for is offering it!!!!!


I had a chat with an area manager of Boots/Alliance and they consider the MUR as part of the pharmacist job.

As MURs are paid for by money that was already in "the system" in the old contract it could well be argued that MURs are part of the job. However, to motivate pharmacists to do them it seems reasonable to give them a carrot incentive as opposed to threatening with a stick.
