Preparing for a 
Covid-19 winter

Dr Rachel Birch, medicolegal consultant at MPS, provides advice and practical tips for locum GPs

We are now six months into the Covid-19 pandemic, and have seen big changes to the provision of general practice in the UK. However, as we move towards the colder months of the year, it is important that locum GPs consider how best to prepare themselves.

Primary care has undergone significant change in response to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. It is testament to the professionalism of each and every member of the multidisciplinary practice team, that patients have continued to be treated safely during these past few months.

"I fell into a salaried role post-CCT, so faced with an unexpected relocation to a completely new area of the country the thought of GP locuming was incredibly daunting.

The assistance I have received from NASGP has been invaluable. I have received excellent and patient admin support when setting up my LocumDeck account. I have enjoyed the monthly chambers meetings I have attended: this made locuming feel far less isolating.

I have easily found plentiful work and am grateful for the invoicing and pension forms being taken care of – this gives me time to focus on the clinical work or make the most of precious days off.

With the support of NASGP Locum Chambers I have filled my diary working in a variety of practices in my new area, and have now joined one practice I enjoyed locuming at on a salaried basis while I continue to do some locum work on top using LocumDeck."
