Not sure about a salary - can probably find out at work tomorrow. A locum pharmacist basically moves around from pharmacy to pharmacy covering for pharmacists who are off work (ill / on holiday / etc). They do most of the jobs that a normal pharmacist will do (dispensing, checking, MURs, supervising sales, etc) but arent responsible for the general management of the shop.

They;re different names for the same role i think!
That's not true...
A relief pharmacist is someone hired by a company to cover for other pharmacies on sick leave / maternity leave...As a relief pharmacist you won't be able to chose where you work and you will have to travel a lot - you should bear this in mind...
A locum is self-employed... They aren't employed by companies... This is why it can be hard getting work... You will have to write to pharmacy managers to get work when you can get it or you can join an agency... There is a lot of work available but normally this will mean you will only work late and on the weekends... the standard going rate for a locum is approx £18 a hour...
hope that helps...
