Locum shift acceptance

Locum shift acceptance

We offer several options for locums accepting shifts:

  1. First come, first served: This option allows any locum to pick up a released shift, facilitating quicker shift fulfillment due to its flexibility.
  2.  Apply outside a set radius: Locums outside a 50 km radius from the pharmacy must apply for the shift by submitting their CV for review. This option is not recommended for urgent shifts. Locums within the 50 km radius can accept the shift directly without applying.
  3. ​Always Apply (SUBSCRIPTION CUSTOMERS ONLY): All locums must apply for shifts, providing their CV for your review before you can offer the shift to a selected locum.
