Welcome to the NASGP

Supporting sessional GPs to improve patient care

Founded in 1997, the NASGP is run by a group of GP locums on the basis that all patients have a right to receive the same high standards of care from all GPs. So all GPs need to be equally recognised and enabled to deliver the same level of care at every GP encounter.

This core belief was enshrined in the first line of our Code of Good Practice, and it shapes all the work the NASGP has done since, from initiating the campaign to extend NHS pensions to GP locums, developing the concept of GP locum chambers, to lobbying to raise the recognition and professional status of GPs who work as locums.

We specialise in taking our grassroots experience as sessional GPs, and that of our members, and turning this into positive ideas, resources, leadership and practical tools to support our members to engage well with practices, and have happy, long careers as GPs taking our rightful place as the valuable part of the GP workforce we truly are.

As part of NASGP’s commitment to fostering good working relationships between practices and GP locums, we are also delighted to welcome practices as NASGP members too.
