NASGP Membership
“I joined NASGP because it is run by locums, for locums, and the website has lots of valuable information for starting out as a GP locum.
“Membership gives me access to NASGP’s platform, LocumDeck. The fully-customisable terms and conditions template, bookings and availability calendar and the ability to confirm terms and bookings with practices are all brilliant. Since I joined NASGP, my communication with practices is so much clearer, giving me stress-free sessions.
“On LocumDeck, invoicing and pension forms work like a dream – in itself this justifies the subscription as it saves me so much time and energy.
“I mainly use LocumDeck to add and manage existing bookings, but I sometimes also use Instant Book to fill gaps in my work diary. With Instant Book, I tell chosen practices when and how I want to work, and pay £15 per session worked.”
NASGP Membership Plus
“I arrange all my sessions using LocumDeck’s Instant Book, so I joined NASGP’s Membership Plus tier to save money on booking fees.
“On top of my subscription I pay £11 per session in Instant Book fees – capped at 20 sessions/month. Adding my own sessions and using invoicing and pension forms is all covered by my subscription.”
NASGP Locum Chambers
“I was previously a partner but it became overwhelming. I didn’t know where to start with becoming a locum. A colleague recommended NASGP for support and I realised Locum Chambers was the best model for me. Best decision of my career. I immediately felt at home.
“In NASGP Locum Chambers, I’m not obliged to work anywhere I don’t want to, or any time. I set all aspects of my working day and how I structure my sessions. I don’t have to give the chambers a cut of my income. If I have a problem with a booking, the chambers manager helps me. NASGP also arranges regular peer-support meetings with local colleagues so I now feel part of a community.
“My monthly subscription covers all of this support, then pay £11 per session worked in booking fees, capped at 20 sessions per month.”

What GP locums say about NASGP membership
"A must-have for any GP locum.
I have used NASGP website since I started locuming three years ago. It caters for all my locum needs, and I found LocumDeck particularly useful for bookings and invoicing. The automatically-generated invoices and pension forms save me countless hours of admin time every month, and the recently introduced e-signed forms are brilliant.
The assistance I have received has always been quick and helpful. The forums and updates have also kept me in the loop with important issues which may affect my practice.
I cannot recommend this website enough. "
Dr Suzanne Gaskell, GP
"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."
Dr Richard Smith, GP, Suffolk
"Before I used LocumDeck, some practices used to ignore my terms and conditions and add bookings to their diaries that they hadn't confirmed with me. Now, my terms and conditions get sent out with every communication and I can confirm sessions by email really easily. I love having a paper trail that's easy to follow – no more endless hunts through random emails. "
Dr Paula N, GP
"Since joining NASGP Locum Chambers I have noted a positive change which I feel has made a significant contribution in both my professional and personal life.
LocumDeck's booking system puts me in touch with a large number of surgeries. I work part-time and the software is intricately tailored to facilitate working at my pace and choice.
In addition, I have access to the NASGP Locum Chambers' supporting infrastructure such as the Chambers Manager through whom all my admin work (like generating invoices and pension forms) is organised. In the past this felt like a load. Now I feel that my time is 'freed up' and so I have a better work-life balance. Working with NASGP Locum Chambers has simplified my life."
