The ELS and the benefits of helping Rural and Remote Pharmacies in need
The objective of the Emergency Locum Service (ELS) program is to ensure that rural and remote communities retain access to pharmacy services at all times.
The Australian Government understands that Community Pharmacies in rural and remote areas operate with limited numbers of Pharmacists and without a helping hand when emergencies occur, some Pharmacies in rural and remote Australia would not be able to undertake dispensing duties to fully and effectively operate.
As such, Raven's Recruitment has been engaged by the Pharmacy Programs Administrator (PPA) who administer the program on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing (DoHDA), to provide the service to all eligible Pharmacies from the 1st of July, 2021 and provide that essential help.
We would love you to experience helping out Pharmacies in need and at the same time having an adventure, travelling to rural and remote locations at short notice and building up a wealth of knowledge in different cultures and communities.
In the "Your Pharmacy Career" podcast series, many of the Pharmacists interviewed talk about both the professional and personal benefits in working in rural and remote Australia. The ELS provides wonderful and diverse opportunities to experience this first hand.
Whether you are a professional locum looking for variety or a full-time Pharmacist wanting to help out when you have annual leave or a break in your career, any ELS assignment would be a welcomed and great addition to your CV.
