Sara Chambers and Richard Fieldhouse talk about getting started as a locum GP from the viewpoint of having just qualified.
We cover who to notify, the positives of being a locum, what kit you’ll need, and which channels for finding work are available, and their pros and cons.
Listen to the podcast below, or download ‘Thriving as a GP locum’ handbook, aimed at anyone from those new to locuming to longterm experienced locums.
"As a newly-qualified CCT and a GP moving to a new region post-CCT, I found LocumDeck and the NASGP to be very helpful. LocumDeck has been useful: Ali Lewis helped me to set myself up, get in touch with practices and book sessions, and also helped me chase payments. The NASGP itself, providing peer support and advice, has also been very good. I would certainly encourage my colleagues to join."
