About Pointlocum

We are a locum staffing service built around community pharmacy. Pharmacies come to us when they need a pharmacist or dispenser they can rely on, and locums come to us for steady, well-organised work.

How it works

Send your request

Message us with the date, times, branch location and whether you need a pharmacist or a dispenser.

We match a locum

We search our register for someone suitable, confirm their availability and check their registration and right to work.

Shift confirmed

You receive the locum's details before the shift, and we stay reachable in case anything changes on the day.

What you can expect

Community pharmacy focus

We only work with community pharmacy, so we understand NHS services, dispensing volumes and how a branch actually runs day to day.

Checked and registered

Pharmacists are GPhC-registered and dispensers are experienced in community settings. We verify credentials and right to work before any placement.

Straightforward communication

No portals to learn and no accounts to create. Message us and you deal with a person who knows your branch.

England and Wales coverage

From independents to small groups and multiples, we place locums in city centres, market towns and rural pharmacies alike.

Work with Pointlocum

Whether you run a pharmacy that needs cover or you are a locum looking for shifts, one message is all it takes to get started.
