Enter in your details so you can
Steve Flavel provides locum services both locally to the Maryborough / Hervey Bay region and to the broader QLD/NSW region.
As a previous owner of his own pharmacy for 18 years, Steve knows the importance of excellent team relations and good customer service so you can be assured your pharmacy is in great hands while you are having a well earned break from your pharmacy.
Steve's Pharmacist accredited training and skills involve
Dispensing - although currently only familiar with Z-Software, so please be aware that I may not be as up to speed with other software platforms just yet so you may need to allow for this in your staffing at this point in time.
Vaccination - Steve holds training certificates in Influenza and Covid vaccination, and indeed all other vaccinations which pharmacists are now permitted to administer in QLD. As part of the QCPP accreditation standard, Steve also holds current First Aid Certificate qualifications.
Buprenorphine Administration - In Steve's pharmacy, he had a client base of some 60 Buprenorphine patients who required administration of either Sublocade or Buvidal. Steve is very competent in the administration and subsequent recording of each of these medications to patients via slow injection
ODT Administration - While, for short term pharmacy locum visits, it is always recommended that doses be pre-prepared, Steve is capable of creating, dispensing and administering ODT medications.
Medschecks / Diabetes Medschecks (1)- Steve created his very own custom medscheck software as an add-on to his dispensary software in his own pharmacy. He is in the process of converting this to be used at any pharmacy to allow you and your most valuable customers to benefit from this value added service.

Locum Services are available in the Maryborough / Hervey Bay area for once off or regular locum coverage dependent on availability.
Priority is given to pharmacies that are interested in a regular booking and are flexible with their booking days to allow me to cater for the needs of those who require my services in rural and remote areas. While there is a minimum locum hourly rate (covered in the form), preference is obviously given to pharmacies who offer a higher rate than my standard minimum hourly rate.
Please note that locum services in the Hervey Bay area attract a 1 hour travel fee in addition to km allowance as per government standards of 99c/km
Locum Services are available on application to pharmacies in QLD / NSW who need assistance for time periods of 1 to 4 weeks. When filling in the contact form, issues such as accommodation, etc are covered. If you are interested in a regular yearly / twice yearly / etc coverage, please note this in the comments field.
Feedback is an extremely valuable resource to ensure that I am delivering the kind of service you require. After utilising my service, I ask that you take a moment to fill in the feedback form so I may provide precisely the kind of service that you particularly require next time.
As a pharmacy owner, Steve knows all too well how difficult it can be to find time to call someone, especially if they are not available at the time and they need to call back. Steve also respects the fact that should he be currently working at a pharmacy at a given time, it is not appropriate to be taking calls and enquiries for other locum visits during time he is being paid to work as a locum in the pharmacy he is currently working in.
To make the process of contacting and booking Steve as efficient as possible, a custom built form has been created for you to fill in. Based on the answers you provide, various other details that are required, particularly on the first booking become available for the pharmacy to enter. Naturally, distance based locum visits require more information with regard to travel and accomodation rates etc. But are not relevant to local locum services.. In this way, the form has been tailored to minimise the time it takes to fill in giving you the capacity of 24/7 contact with Steve regardless of if he is working for another pharmacy at the time or otherwise unable to take your call.

Use of Steves Custom Medsheck Software requires Steve to have his laptop available for use at the pharmacy for data entry.
