Testimonials

Loved by pharmacists & pharmacies

Don't take our word for it — hear from the community building a better way to work.

I used to spend hours chasing agencies for shifts. With Locum247 I opened the app on a Thursday and had two shifts confirmed for the weekend. The payment was in my account by Monday.

We operate 4 branches and staff leave used to be a nightmare. Since we started using Locum247 we haven't had a single uncovered shift. The quality of locums is consistently excellent.

As a new graduate I wasn't sure how to break into locum work. Locum247 made it easy — my SAPC registration was verified in 6 hours and I had my first shift the next day.
