Being a pharmacist can be taxing. And when you’re offering medical advice and services to a high volume of people each day, the last thing you want to deal with is you or any of your permanent staff getting ill and taking a long period of time off work.
While larger pharmacies might be able to handle daily operations with less people on hand, others might be swamped and find it difficult to offer the normal level of care and service people expect from them.
Locum insurance is optional. However, the consequences of not having effective insurance in place to cover the cost of hiring a locum when needed are so serious that arguably all dental practices should have some form of locum cover.
Without a contingency plan to handle the absence of your staff, you may not be able to continue offering the level of care required by your patients and your business could suffer if too much strain is put on other members of staff.
Insurance is essential. This is true whether you are a highly seasoned optometrist or a newly qualified professional fresh out of postgraduate training. Ultimately, making sure you are protected during the various unforeseen circumstances that can happen in this profession will prevent serious damage to your career, reputation and ability to earn a living.
It’s good to know what hiring a locum entails so you can ensure the smooth running of your practice, as well as uphold the relevant obligations when working with a locum. Here is some guidance for employers to consider when employing a locum, including responsibilities and how much GP rates vary across London and the UK.
