LocumDeck can help you find practices to work in. Its list of practices shows each one’s distance from your home, and the direct booking feature lets you set your working boundaries for each practice – for example, while you get used to the area, you might prefer to limit your session types (shorter sessions, longer consultations, no on-call, etc) and then broaden your horizons as you gain confidence and familiarity. Also, if you’re feeling isolated, with our Membership Plus you’ll be able to join or set up a locum group. Or joining NASGP Locum Chambers would offer you a more complete solution to the challenges of working alone.
"Prior to signing up for LocumDeck, I would have to rely on locum agencies or mutual recommendations, then do a lot of paperwork for each surgery myself. Once I signed up for LocumDeck, I just uploaded all my documents, added my availability and started getting automatic bookings. There is no need to worry about invoices any more as everything is available on LocumDeck. Ali, NASGP's Membership Support Manager, was really helpful too!"
