Resource: Availability letter template from GP to practice

Our latest resource for members relies on the power of a personal touch.

Even in a digital world, a personal introduction can make all the difference.

We encourage you to reach out directly to practice managers.

Let them know you’re a local locum using LocumDeck with availability.

Use the free members-only template below to send emails or snail mail to practices to let them know about your availability.

If you prefer to email, here’s the wording:

Dear [Practice Manager's Name],

I hope you're well.

My name is [Your Name], and I'm a GP locum who has made my availability visible to you on LocumDeck.
I wanted to introduce myself personally and let you know that I'm available for you to book me at your practice.

You can see all my credentials and terms and then it is easy for you to book me without any back-and-forth messages or agency fees.

You simply find the session you need, and the booking is instantly confirmed.

Please feel free to get in touch with me on LocumDeck. I look forward to the possibility of working with you soon.

Best regards,

[Your Name]

"I started working as a locum GP in January this year and NASGP have been invaluable in helping to co-ordinate my bookings and organise all the administrative aspects of sessional work which can be complex and time consuming. Their client support is outstanding and they have always resolved any queries promptly and personally. They care about the service they provide and I would not hesitate to recommend them to any sessional GPs who want to minimise time spent on administration and focus on providing patients with high quality care."
