For practices and PCNs
Register free, then send the profession, site postcode, dates, hours, duties and proposed rate when you need cover. Describe the team, essential experience and whether work is on-site, remote or hybrid.
Register your practiceFor locums
Tell us your profession, availability, experience and preferred towns. Include your travel limits and working preferences. We also take community and hospital pharmacy enquiries.
Register for freeWe’ll review each request against suitable availability. Cover is confirmed only after the locum, duties, dates, required checks, pay and terms are agreed. Having a page for a region does not mean we have locums available there.
Remote work and local requirements
A remote assignment still needs a defined service location, approved access, agreed duties and support from the practice. Identify any induction or sessions that require attendance. For every role, confirm the professional registration and other requirements for the country and work involved.

For practices, pharmacy teams and locums in Birmingham and the West Midlands.
Contact usCan one request include several West Midlands towns?
Yes. List each workplace, date, hours and required services. Tell us whether one locum should cover the block or whether separate bookings would work.
Can I request urgent locum cover?
Yes. State the date and earliest workable start time, with the full workplace details. Urgent cover still depends on a suitable locum being available and accepting the terms.
What travel preferences should I give when registering?
Name your preferred towns and any limits on journey time, early starts or late finishes. If you rely on public transport, include that too.
