Welcome back to work! 2021 is here, and we’re hoping that by this time next year, we’ll be back where we love to be – at the desks of local GP practices, seeing patients, and supporting our under-staffed colleagues.
What can we do to support GP locums this year? We’ve launched a new two-minute survey to find out what you need over the next 12 months. Tell us about your circumstances today and we’ll share the results at the end of the month.

"LocumDeck has given me the opportunity to work in different practices and meet new colleagues. I enjoy the flexibility of working on a locum basis. I found the initial setting up process straightforward, and there is plenty of help with the set up guides as well as support from Katrina Munro, the Nurse Ambassador at Frimley Training Hub, and Becky Nelson, the Nurse Support Manager at LocumDeck. I now have regular bookings on days and times which suit me."

"LocumDeck really is brilliant. I've always relied on my own system - I never put my faith in any other system before LocumDeck.
But I was genuinely buzzing when I used it yesterday - how easy it was to use and how many other things it does. It will significantly change and improve my invoicing and end of the month. "
