There are some real shortages in other health related professions, such as nursing,which makes it necessary for the UK government to persuade universities to provide courses within line with the present and future health demand.Every year in UK,it becomes harder for newly qualified and registered pharmacists (especially as community pharmacists) to secure jobs deserved for such a profession.It has even become harder for locum community pharmacists to find shifts and have a decent monthly income!
