“I’ve done respiratory nursing clinics through my local ICS and it was such a great experience. During my clinic I realised how valued and needed my skills are. Locuming gave me a great sense of pride and enthusiasm and I felt respected for my work. It was really easy to book and get paid too. I would recommend LocumDeck to my colleagues.” Katrina Munro, locum nurse
“LocumDeck has given me the opportunity to work in different practices and meet new colleagues. I enjoy the flexibility of working on a locum basis. I found the initial setting up process straightforward, and there is plenty of help with the set up guides as well as support from the local Nurse Ambassador, and Becky Nelson, the Nurse Support Manager at LocumDeck. I now have regular bookings on days and times which suit me.” Anon locum nurse

“LocumDeck has totally transformed our process for securing ad-hoc GP cover. Overnight we moved from a chaotic email round robin, over to a slick and simple process, with a much better cover rate for shifts needed.” Tom Brock-Hastings, management partner, Frampton & Stonehouse Practice Group
Do I have to live in Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West to participate?
No, you can live anywhere. You just need to be interested in nursing in Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West.
Where can I find my statutory and mandatory training certificates?
If you completed training on Bluestream Academy, individual certificates from past completions can be purchased directly from us for £1 + VAT per certificate should the individual not wish to proceed with a new account.
Nurses can register for an individual Blue Stream Academy account for just £49 + VAT per year (we need a valid NMC number to proceed with this). Once the new account has been set-up, we can transfer across any training records from the previous practice account.
