Emergency Relief Pharmacists & Techs For Florida Pharmacies
relief pharmacists in FL, GA, AL, NC, SC, TX
Emergency relief pharmacists in Florida are always in demand, but the recent devastation and destruction across the state caused by Hurricane Ian shows pharmacy owners just how quickly the need for a temporary pharmacist can arise. While Florida's Governor DeSantis declared a State of Emergency for all sixty-seven counties in Florida for Hurricane Ian, many pharmacy owners were already facing their own crises of finding immediate relief R. PH's, both before and after the storm made landfall on Florida's west coast just south of Sarasota and Fort Myers. The storm then cut across the Sunshine State, wreaking havoc in Orlando and Central Florida before heading Northeast towards St. Augustine and the City of Jacksonville.With Florida already experiencing a pharmacy staffing shortage as is being seen throughout the entire nation, Hurricane Ian just placed more strain on Florida to meet many communities' emergency medical and pharmacy needs. Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are among the jobs most affected by the COVID pandemic regarding the areas of "employee burnout" and dissatisfaction. Yet on the "flipside" of the story is the effect that this staffing shortage has had on pharmacy owners and managers. It's important to always keep in mind that in situations such as these the end result is an increased shortage of pharmacists available to do the temporary and relief work required in sometimes critical emergency situations.
Why Use a Pharmacy Staffing Agency?
Needing temporary pharmacists during emergency situations can sometimes pose what seems like insurmountable obstacles to the pharmacy owner and/or pharmacy manager. Because a pharmacy can not legally be open for business without a registered pharmacist on duty, sometimes the pharmacy owner or store manager is faced with the dilemma of finding a pharmacist quickly or having to close the pharmacy's doors and shut the business down until a pharmacist can be found. Emergencies such as severe weather like a hurricane poses can prevent a pharmacist scheduled to work a certain shift from returning safely from an evacuation if it's required. This also applies if the pharmacist was on vacation and severe weather leads to the closing of airports that will simply impede or delay his or her return to work.Additionally, the death of a family member, personal illness, accidents and other unforeseen events can all lead to emergency situations that can force a pharmacy to shut down. This not only results in lost business, but can cause severe stress and frustration to loyal customers and patients who rely on the pharmacy being open for their medications and health needs. This can be even more critical in rural communities and small towns where sometimes only one pharmacy is open and operates. With no pharmacists to rely on for "back-up", emergencies from not having a registered pharmacist available can quickly turn into an escalating crisis for an entire community.
How Do I Choose the Right Emergency Pharmacy Staffing Agency?
As with all other vendors, choosing the right staffing agency is critical. You want a firm that's not too small as to be geographically constrained and therefore has a limited number of viable pharmacists to choose from to meet your specific needs. You also want one that is not too large and therefore is not service oriented when dealing with a "smaller" clients immediate needs.The perfect choice across Florida is HealthCare Consultants Pharmacy Staffing (HCC).
