Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is a locum
- A: Locum, short for the Latin phrase locum tenens, is a person who temporarily fulfills the duties of another.
For example, a Locum pharmacist is a pharmacist who works in the place of the regular pharmacist when that pharmacist is absent,
or when a hospital/practice is short-staffed.
These professionals are still governed by their respective regulatory bodies, despite the transient nature of
their positions.
