FAQ: What is the BMA locum practice agreement?

Just like the model contract for salaried GPs, the model terms for GP locums are the BMA’s suggested terms designed to protect GPs and practices in NHS primary care.

The model terms are part of the wider BMA locum practice agreement, drafted by BMA Law and reviewed by both the GPC and the sessional GP subcomittee.

BMA LOCUM PRACTICE AGREEMENT

"As a newly-qualified CCT and a GP moving to a new region post-CCT, I found LocumDeck and the NASGP to be very helpful. LocumDeck has been useful: Ali Lewis helped me to set myself up, get in touch with practices and book sessions, and also helped me chase payments. The NASGP itself, providing peer support and advice, has also been very good. I would certainly encourage my colleagues to join."
