Rural LAP provides locum Pharmacists for rural pharmacies with no Pharmacist, as they would otherwise need to close their doors.

The eligibility criteria is that the person applying needs to be a registered Pharmacist. There have been multiple instances in very remote and rural locations that a non- pharmacist has needed to apply to keep the pharmacy doors open. Their application has been rejected based solely on their lack or pharmacist registration, and the pharmacy has needed to close its doors. This can be disastrous for these remote locations who rely on the pharmacy for life saving medications and basic health care.

People in rural locations and who use pharmacies need to get behind this to keep the doors open!
