Does your locum pay for themselves? 💷

If your pharmacist is just "clearing the bench," you’re leaving thousands on the table. With the 2026 Pharmacy First fees and NMS targets, a service-led locum can actually cover their own day rate before the lunch rush.

We provide locums, including ones who are IP-qualified, who don't just dispense, they deliver:

✅ Triage Pharmacy First cases

✅ Maximize NMS completions

✅ Protect your patient nominations

Stop seeing staffing as a cost. Start seeing it as a revenue driver. 📈

The smart way to find locum work in pharmacies and opticians

Stop Paying for Software. Start Paying for Results. 🚀

If you’re managing multiple pharmacy branches, you’ve likely seen "Subscription-Based" locum platforms. They promise "unlimited access," but there’s often a catch: You pay the fee even if they fail to fill your shift.

At StartLocum, we believe you shouldn't pay for a tool that doesn't deliver.

We’ve built a Human-Backed Platform designed for results, not just access.

That’s why small to large multiples are increasingly moving toward our transparent, result-driven model.

Why the "Results-Only" model wins for your P&L:
✅ Zero Subscription Fees: You never pay for "access" or "user seats."
✅ Pay on Fulfillment: Our flat fee is only triggered when a vetted professional successfully completes a shift.
✅ The 360° Safety Net: Unlike "software-only" competitors, our dedicated account managers manually intervene to fill your most difficult shifts.
✅ Full Staffing Suite: One dashboard for Pharmacists, Technicians, ACTs, and Dispensers.

Hate Admin? We’ve got you. If the thought of manually uploading 6+ locations is stopping you from switching, let us handle it. Send us your site list, and we’ll build your entire dashboard for you in 24 hours.

Ready to stop paying for empty dashboards? Contact us on [email protected] to see how we stabilise your budget and fill your gaps faster.

Stop the Locum Scramble!

Does this sound familiar? 🤯 It's 7 AM, a locum has canceled, and you've entered the Locum Scramble: endless calls, frantic emails, and last-minute rate hikes - all before your first patient arrives.

Your staffing solution should deliver control, not panic.

The StartLocum Brilliant 360° Service is built to end the chaos:

➡️ The Buffer: Access to thousands of locums means your shift has the best chance to be filled before the scramble even begins.

➡️ The Backstop: Your dedicated human account manager steps in instantly if the app/website fails.

➡️ The Certainty: Our contract clients permanently waive any emergency fees, eliminating the final financial shock.

Stop scrambling. Start controlling your staffing. Ready to find out what calm feels like? Send us a DM to register and post your first shift.
