Check connections and vehicle restrictions
The Subway serves parts of Glasgow, so wider journeys may need other connections. Check the timetable, particularly on Sundays, and the walk to the workplace. Drivers should check Glasgow’s Low Emission Zone boundary and vehicle eligibility.
Set out the Scottish service and role
For general practice, describe the clinics, duties, clinical systems and local arrangements. For community pharmacy cover, identify any NHS Pharmacy First Scotland work and other services required, with the relevant experience and preparation.

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 Glasgow and Central Scotland.
Contact usCan I request cover outside Glasgow?
Yes. Send the town, postcode and shift details. We will assess the specific request; the regional page does not confirm a locum is available for every location.
Can I request one locum for a block of dates?
Yes. List all dates and hours and say whether continuity is important. The same locum’s availability needs confirming for the whole block.
How should I describe my travel preferences?
Name the towns or neighbourhoods, how you travel and any start or finish limits. Check the workplace address before accepting a shift.
