5th October 2009 by NASGP
From Paul Gordon of www.MacArthurGordon.co.uk
The NHS Choice Exercise is here if you are intending on retiring between 1st October and the 31st December. All others over the age of 50 as at the 1st October 2009 will receive their Choice Pack in 2010.
Every member of the Old or 1995 Section will be given the option of making a one-way switch to the New or 2008 Section. Once you have decided to switch you cannot reverse the decision and all service will be transferred accordingly.
"I first found LocumDeck when looking to help retain GP locums in the area. I have since moved my own practice in my final years to work as a locum. I was so impressed with the ease of booking and control it gives. Ease of billing, help with NHS pension contributions, and end of tax year summaries are an enormous bonus for GP locums.
"As an NASGP Locum Chambers member I am supported as a GP locum in a way that would not be possible otherwise. Frimley Locum Hub is very supportive group of GPs and I know of several GP locums who have remained in the area because of the services it provides. I understand in the Frimley area that the number of whole time equivalent GPs working via the NASGP model is substantial and provides a very real and tangible part of the total GP workforce. The fact that the service is fully-funded at present is a key reason why GP locums use the service. "
Dr Mick Watts, GP locum, Frimley
