It's strange that co-operative are criticising 100 hour pharmacies. They have opened few recently in north. The latest I know was opened last week in December 2011.

dont complain about locum rates, preesures from multiples, start look around for you own business especially near where your living dear pharmacists there must be a multiple doing 7000+ items per month, what stopping you setting up 100Hrs with 2 of your locum mates and flatten them old dinasaurs, go for it what you got to loose, remember Del Boy, "those who dare, WIN!!"
