NASGP launches 2023 survey for GP locums

Sessional GPs can report anonymously on the pressures they face, and their goals for their career as part of a new NASGP survey.

The NASGP has launched a new two-minute anonymous survey to find out what GPs need to make the most of their work over the next 12 months.

The five questions cover:

  • How much longer you plan to keep practising.
  • What your career priorities are for 2023.
  • How pressures on the GP workforce have affected your careers.

Dr Richard Fieldhouse, NASGP chair, said: “GP locums can work in anything up to 40 different practices per year, often supporting under-resourced, struggling practices, occasionally even practices that are underperforming or are in special measures.

“So for those of us that have chosen to work in salaried roles or as GP locums, whether through an active choice or because we have found it too much of a struggle working as a partner or as a salaried GP, this survey aims to explore our plans and the pressures we are under.

“It’s a very quick survey and should only take a minute or two and we fully appreciate any GP who is able to respond.”

Our survey is now closed. 

"LocumDeck is so good and so intuitive that I am lost for words and utterly filled with glee.

It can send an email confirming the sessions that are booked and creates and emails invoices direct to the practice for you. These contain links to your beautifully laid out ‘credentials’ page with all your relevant documents, and a model contract that is all ready for you to accept or edit.

It automatically produces and sends the locum form A, and will produce locum form B. It also acts as the calendar... And it all happens automatically. It is really less than a minute to invoice and do the pension forms, with everything calculated perfectly."

Dr Annette Steele, GP
