Great to see the Medical Defence Union coming up with simple, pragmatic advice published in GP newspaper yesterday, to our practice-based colleagues on how to avoid risk when employing locums. Cuts both ways, and gives us all a break!
MDU advises practices on how to reduce risk to locums
19th June 2009 by NASGP
"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."
