Resource: Availability letter template from GP to practice

Our latest resource for members relies on the power of a personal touch.

Even in a digital world, a personal introduction can make all the difference.

We encourage you to reach out directly to practice managers.

Let them know you’re a local locum using LocumDeck with availability.

Use the free members-only template below to send emails or snail mail to practices to let them know about your availability.

If you prefer to email, here’s the wording:

Dear [Practice Manager's Name],

I hope you're well.

My name is [Your Name], and I'm a GP locum who has made my availability visible to you on LocumDeck.
I wanted to introduce myself personally and let you know that I'm available for you to book me at your practice.

You can see all my credentials and terms and then it is easy for you to book me without any back-and-forth messages or agency fees.

You simply find the session you need, and the booking is instantly confirmed.

Please feel free to get in touch with me on LocumDeck. I look forward to the possibility of working with you soon.

Best regards,

[Your Name]

"...the NASGP LocumDeck service makes my running things as a self employed GP almost effortless - I don't think I would want to work without it. Invoicing is streamlined and the website is very user-friendly. After a sometimes busy week at work the last thing you want is to spend hours on business admin - LocumDeck is a real timesaver."

Dr James O’Mahony, GP
