Sara Chambers and Richard Fieldhouse talk about getting started as a locum GP from the viewpoint of having just qualified.
We cover who to notify, the positives of being a locum, what kit you’ll need, and which channels for finding work are available, and their pros and cons.
Listen to the podcast below, or download ‘Thriving as a GP locum’ handbook, aimed at anyone from those new to locuming to longterm experienced locums.
"I started my career as a GP locum last year a week after CCT. I strongly agree with the doctors who praise the NASGP team. If there is no NASGP, there would be no GP locum called Dr Darshanie Seneviratne.
The team is absolutely amazing especially Dr Richard Fieldhouse, Ali Lewis and Jacqui Gumbrell – all providing unbelievable support to us. I've never seen such urgent assistance from any other team at any point in my career. For example when one of my invoices was delayed by a month and a half, Ali was incredibly supportive. It is a very good strength for us as we have support with any issues. I would like to stay with this amazing team forever. "
