New checklist helps GP locums assess salaried contract terms

The NASGP has published a new resource for GP locums who are considering taking a contract as a salaried GP.

The resource helps GP locums gather information in the public domain, job description and experience of working at the practice, then reveals the questions still left for the practice partners or manager to supply information about.

Questions include, ‘How is the practice owned and managed?’ and ‘What are your mandatory training costs?’.

During the pandemic many GP locums have considered taking a contract in the absence of available sessions. NASGP is a membership organisation for both GP locums and salaried GPs, and has previously published specific advice for salaried GPs, such as working as a salaried GP and the salaried GP ‘job plan’.

See the resource.

"The NASGP and the GP locum chambers that I'm in have provided invaluable assistance both before and through Covid-19 to me as a full-time GP locum. All aspects of locum work have been made easier as a result of membership and the chamber's support structure - from accessing work, to ensuring invoicing and documentation is all sorted, and access to other locums as peer support. Having a chamber manager means I feel more secure and can devote more of my energy on my clinical work."
