Launching soon
Locum work in general practice, reimagined.
The Locum Doctor is a brand new platform for everyone who works in GP practices. Find sessions, talk to practices, get booked and keep on top of the admin, all in one place. No agency in the middle.
A sneak peek
Everything in one place.
Here's some of what's waiting for you. Built for general practice from the ground up, with more on the way.
Sessions near you, with everything up front
Set your postcode and how far you'll travel. Each session shows the times, the practice, its clinical system and how far away it is.
Talk to each other directly
One conversation for each session, from applying to the day itself. No middleman, no phone tag.
Is there parking nearby?
Yes, behind the building.
Ratings you can trust
Only a practice that booked someone can rate them, after the session. Fair and honest, and anyone rated can ask us to take another look.
A month of cover in a minute
Post one session, several dates at once, or the same session every week.
Every applicant at a glance
Your sessions, who applied and the conversation, side by side. Accept in one click.
Your work in one place
Booked sessions, calendar files for your phone, and a running total of the work you've done this tax year.
New sessions every morning
Turn on one short email a day with new sessions near you that suit when you're free.
Every member checked
We check every professional registration and every practice's ODS code before anyone can book.
Admin, made simple.
We're building tools that take the paperwork off your plate, for the people who work sessions and the practices that book them.
Invoices
Turn the sessions you have worked into invoices, ready to send.
Pension forms
Less time on locum pension paperwork for GPs and practices.
Your documents
Keep the documents practices ask for in one place, ready to share.
For the whole practice team.
Whatever your role in a GP practice, there's a place for you on The Locum Doctor.
Whether you're a GP locum or sessional GP looking for work near you, a practice nurse or pharmacist picking up extra sessions, or a practice that needs locum cover, it's all in one place.

Questions
Is The Locum Doctor a locum agency?
No. It's a platform where GP practices post the sessions they need themselves and people apply directly, so there's no agency in between.
How do I find locum GP jobs near me?
Sign up and add your postcode and how far you'll travel. You'll see sessions near you, soonest first, with the practice's details, and you can apply in a couple of clicks.
How do I find a locum GP for my practice?
Sign up as a GP practice and post your sessions with the dates and times. People nearby apply directly, you see their profiles and ratings, and you choose who to book.
Who can join?
GP practices in England, and the people who work in them: GPs, nurses, pharmacists and the rest of the practice team.
