2026 ‘Lab’ events to support GP locums with practical, peer-led solutions

NASGP is hosting 10 opportunities in 2026 for GPs to come together with colleagues to break down the problems that are hardest to tackle on their own.

Each of these ‘Locum Lab’ sessions will focus on a different challenge and give GPs the practical approaches that others already use successfully.

Previous participants have described these sessions as “safe, interactive, friendly, and open”.

Rich Curno, director of membership at NASGP, said: “GP locums across the country have told us the biggest challenges they expect to face in 2026. Whether it’s money, professional relationships, or simply keeping the diary flowing, it’s going to be a demanding year.

“GP locums need a space to talk honestly with others who are facing the same pressures and finding approaches that actually work. No theory. No lectures. Just GP locums learning from GP locums.”

Members will receive a sign-up link by email first thing on Monday 8 December.

"The security that LocumDeck brings with the comprehensive terms and conditions, and clarity around the workload I am willing to undertake isn’t there if I agree to a booking via email. It is when practices book through LocumDeck. This is what makes LocumDeck such a powerful tool. It gives me confidence knowing that I’m not going to get inundated with an unsafe surgery or workload."
