FAQ: How do I respond to an availability request on LocumDeck?
Respond by going to the Availability request shown in orange on your calendar.
- Click to open the request pop-up and see more information about the practice and whatever information they’ve given you about their cover requirement.
- Click the pale green ellipsis icon in the top right hand corner to see Respond or Decline options

- Decline removes the request from your calendar. The practice is not informed when you decline.
- Respond takes you through some steps to offer an instant bookable session to the practice
- Once you send your offer to the practice, they are notified by email and can login to look at your profile, including your terms and conditions, the session you’re offering and your fee.
- If they book you, you get an SMS text notification, a confirmation email and you’ll be able to see full details of the booking in your calendar.
"We use quite a few GP locums at our practices and the GPs we have used through LocumDeck are much easier to manage, given the calendar view and how they process payments."
