What GPs are saying about NASGP’s Remote Digital Locum Chambers
- “Remote working has massively improved my work life balance. It’s so much easier to see my children more. I have been amazed at how I am able to still feel part of the practice team. I have received positive feedback from patients and staff. From patients I’ve even been sent flowers and the practice sent me a Christmas gift, both of which were really touching! I feel like I’m making a difference albeit from afar whilst simultaneously being more present for my family.”
- “The support from the NASGP team throughout the project is excellent, with regular communication and peer meetings to allow discussion and sharing of experiences. During the course of the trial improvements were made to GPintheCloud software based on GP feedback.”
- “I’ve been a GP for 15 years. Working remotely has made a huge difference to how I enjoy being a GP and added a whole new string to my bow. I’m probably now working, on average, an extra day a week as a GP. I’ve discussed this with the partners where I do most of my remote work, and they feel the same: like I’m their rearguard, so I do a really good remote job of helping patients who need to speak to a GP, often quickly, who really don’t need a face-to-face or have a long term condition, which then gives the local GPs at the practice lots more time to see the patients who definitely need to see them face-to-face. And as a parent, it’s just so convenient for me to fit in between school runs. LocumDeck has totally revolutionised everything else about GP locum work too. I’m gobsmacked that more practices aren’t using it.”
- “This is a highly innovative project which has provided invaluable support to practices at a time when they struggled to recruit face-to-face GPs due to various reasons including Covid-19, geographical area and nationwide GP shortages.”
- “I feel that as a clinically vulnerable doctor, remote working since January 2021 has enabled me to offer safe effective care to patients whilst also being safe myself. I have been able to offer my skills as a senior GP in regards to reducing prescribed opiates, and also efficient telephone consultations with small numbers of patients needing face-to-face appointments.”
- “Positive experience: practices have been impressed and patients have given positive feedback.”
- “Brilliant idea and well-supported in integration.”
- “It’s life-changing! A variety of practices, different locations, easy access and all in the comfort of my own office.”
- “Better work-life balance and work satisfaction.”
- “Working remotely has proven to be very helpful with my work-life balance.”
- “Use of LocumDeck has been an easy process, setting my availability for days of the week I choose to work. Reduced admin time is brilliant, as I don’t have to waste my time with excessive paperwork.”
- “Overall it’s been a great experience!”
