Our purpose

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 to be the UK’s leading membership organisation, supporting portfolio healthcare professionals, GP locums and salaried GPs.

Our mission

Our mission is to provide a national voice for sessional GPs and clinicians, fostering a connecting community that supports, educates and advocates their essential role within the wider NHS workforce.

What makes us different

We’re different because we are healthcare professionals ourselves, which means we genuinely understand the sector. Our members support us so we can work hard to unlock flexible workforce capacity within the NHS.
