Locate a Locum is a platform designed to connect locum pharmacists and other healthcare professionals with pharmacies for shift bookings. However, it is important to understand the platform's role and limitations when it comes to employment references.

Locate a Locum cannot provide employment references because it is not your employer. The platform serves solely as a communication and booking intermediary between locums and pharmacies. As such, it does not have the authority or sufficient information to issue employment references or letters confirming good character, DBS status, or employment history.

If you require an employment reference, you should contact the individual pharmacies where you have worked through Locate a Locum. These pharmacies are your actual employers or contracting organizations and can provide references based on your work history with them. To identify the pharmacies you have worked with:

Locate a Locum cannot provide letters on company letterhead confirming good character or DBS status. For such documentation, you must contact the pharmacies where you have worked, as they are better positioned to verify your credentials and provide the necessary documentation.

In some cases, you may use a professional referee other than your current employer, such as an optometrist or a director from another practice where you have worked. Ensure that the reference meets the required content and is dated within the last three years.

Locate a Locum is not an employer and cannot provide employment references or related documentation. For references, contact the pharmacies where you have worked through the platform. If needed, alternative professional referees may also be acceptable, provided they meet the necessary criteria.
