FAQ: What are the benefits to practices of using LocumDeck’s e-signature for Locum Form A?

E-signing Form A on LocumDeck can transform the process for a practice, saving hours of administrative time.

  • Time savings: It takes seconds to set up and only seconds to sign all future Form As. No more printing, scanning, or saving individual documents. Practices can approve and e-sign the Form A directly within the same system used for managing bookings and invoices, streamlining the practices administrative process and avoiding the need to log into multiple platforms.
  • Reduced errors: The form is automatically populated with the correct data, including the pensionable pay and employer contribution, reducing the chance of manual data entry errors.
  • Instant access and archiving: Once signed, the locum receives their copy instantly, and the practice has a secure, automatic archive of all signed Form As, linked to their original invoice. This makes auditing and future reference simple and efficient.

"I first found LocumDeck when looking to help retain GP locums in the area. I have since moved my own practice in my final years to work as a locum. I was so impressed with the ease of booking and control it gives. Ease of billing, help with NHS pension contributions, and end of tax year summaries are an enormous bonus for GP locums. As an NASGP Locum Chambers member I am supported as a GP locum in a way that would not be possible otherwise. "
