In this episode of Pharmacy View Podcast, host Scott Carpenter, EVBC talks to the dynamic duo of Kavita Nadan and Surge Singh about their Locumate Platform/APP where Locums can find the perfect shifts, get paid on time and access additional educational resources to help them grow their career as pharmacists. This is their second chat on the podcast and in this episode, Pharmacist Kavita and IT guru Surge bring to the table not just new and improved features for their platform, Locumate, but also information on jobsinpharmacy.com.au through which they wish to improve the industry on the whole.
Kavita and Surge make for a perfect connect between Pharmacy and Technology. After their soft launch, the feedback from locums was that they wanted an automated invoicing piece built into the system. Having fast tracked and built that, the duo realised that the Pharmacy owners weren’t ready for the change and because of that the use of the feature to ensure that the locums are paid the next day has been paused for now. Surge, however, is quick to assure that the technology exists and can be put to use from the very next day. And what’s more? Locums can be paid in crypto, if that’s what they want! All things said and done; they will commence the rollout on the invoicing as soon as requested.
