About this listen

In this candid and compelling episode of Behind the Counter: Pharmacy and Beyond, host Solomon Abuede sits down with Tohidul Islam, pharmacist, whistleblower, and founder of The Pharmacist Cooperative (TPC), to discuss the hidden challenges and opportunities facing both locum pharmacists and pharmacy owners.

From battling unfair work conditions and threats, to challenging complacency in pharmacy hiring and marketing, Tohidul delivers hard-hitting insights. We unpack:

  • The tension between locum pharmacists and contractors
  • Why underpaying your team could be killing your business growth
  • The business cost (and return) of better pay and respect
  • How pharmacies can market private services ethically and profitably


Whether you’re a pharmacy contractor, independent locum, or pharmacy graduate, this episode will challenge your assumptions and empower you to drive change.
