Hi everyone, hope you're all well. I'm a recently qualified pharmacist and started locuming by using agencies to book my shifts, but now realised that I should have gone direct first as now their terms and condition prevents me from going direct to those pharmacies that they've introduced me to. The small print doesn't specify a time frame for how long this limit will be either. I just want to ask if anyone know typically how long the limit is or who was in a similar situation? Cheers.

You are a PDA member?
Possibly have a word with the PDA about this for advice as they are good with contract issues.
As an aside, "business is business" but pharmacy is a small world of people and word gets round if you have blown an agency for the next time you might need to use one.
Personally, as a weekend locum it was word of mouth or dropping in a business card instead of an agency.
Then it was a matter of the staff saying "we want this person back".
Times have changed I guess.
47 BC : Julius Cesar : Veni Vidi Vici : I came, I saw I conquered.
2018 AD : Modern Man : I shopped, I clicked, I collected.
How times change.
If you find you have read something that has upset or offended you an anyway please unread it at once.
