NASGP has now added a new feature to bring out-of-hours services, urgent care providers and hubs onto LocumDeck.
When GPs go to ‘Add Practice(s)’ on LocumDeck, they will now be prompted with the following message: ‘What type of organisation do you want to add?’
The ‘Other’ provider option lets GPs add out-of-hours, urgent care providers and hubs where GPs adopt fixed shifts from a provider’s roster.
GPs can now join a waiting list to be notified when this service goes live in their area.
LocumDeck is a live work booking and management platform for GPs and primary care providers, founded and run by the NASGP.
Dr Richard Fieldhouse, NASGP chair, wrote: “We are currently piloting our new fixed-shift feature with select urgent care providers.
“While we aren’t open in all areas yet, GP interest helps us show local providers that our members are ready and waiting to work.”
