Sara Chambers and Richard Fieldhouse talk about getting started as a locum GP from the viewpoint of having just qualified.
We cover who to notify, the positives of being a locum, what kit you’ll need, and which channels for finding work are available, and their pros and cons.
Listen to the podcast below, or download ‘Thriving as a GP locum’ handbook, aimed at anyone from those new to locuming to longterm experienced locums.
"I love getting an email to say 'a new GP locum has linked with your practice', especially when the offer of sessions is just what I’d been needing and it’s just dropped into my lap! It’s great to have everything in one place and be able to download documents so easily. LocumDeck makes the terms and conditions of each locum really clear, and I’ve built up a really good amount of offers from different GPs. It’s easy to keep track of invoices and pension forms, and it’s great that it’s free for practices to use too."
