Check the last connection
Use the Bee Network planner to check bus, tram and train options, including the final walk to the workplace. Look at the actual day and shift hours, especially for early starts and late returns.
Describe a block of cover date by date
Say whether the locum will return to one workplace or move between sites. Include changes in hours, planned staffing, clinical systems and duties so they can assess the whole block.

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.
