Our purpose
Everyone works better when they know they’re not alone.
If you work in general practice, you’ll know that it’s changing.
GP locums are a critical resource in our increasingly flexible workplace and being highly trained, with broad perspectives of General Practice, they have lots to contribute. But it can be a challenging way to work. While GP practices need locums, locums need systems that work for them so they can do their best work.
We’re here to help GP locums succeed in their working days and their working lives, to make their work the best it can be for everyone – for locums, the practices they work with, and most importantly, patients.
Our vision
Our vision is for every GP locum to progress their career and profession. For GP locums to achieve more.
Our mission
Our mission is to empower GP locums through a collective voice and effective support at every stage of their journey.
What makes us different
We’re different because we genuinely understand locums. We were founded by locums for locums and have a holistic view of their needs. We’re on their side.
Our promise
Support
Day-to-day tools that really work for GP locums
Community
A network of GP peer support
Voice
A collective voice and better understanding of GP locums
