Does an enquiry confirm my cover?
No. Cover depends on suitable availability, required checks and agreed written terms. We’ll discuss these with you before a booking is confirmed.
Can every role be carried out remotely?
No. Remote work must suit the duties, clinician’s competence, systems access and local support. Examinations, vaccinations and other hands-on care need on-site cover.
Do locums pay to find work?
No. Registration and work-finding are free for locums. You choose whether to accept an assignment after reviewing the duties, pay and terms.
