What Is A Locum Doctor And What Are The Benefits?

 

Working as a locum doctor in the UK is an excellent alternative to a permanent position in a general practise or hospital. As a result, the duties and responsibilities would most likely be the same. There are plenty of differences between being a locum doctor and a permanent doctor.

 

Usually, locum doctors will take advantage of the opportunity they have to work as part-time. To be able to schedule their own shifts accordingly. Broadly speaking, locums are normal doctors who have more flexibility over their working hours and salary. 

 

Apart from flexibility and increased income, working as a locum doctor has other benefits. For example, an improved work-life balance, and building up a larger professional network. That’s why many doctors choose to do both. Choosing a locum job as a source of earning some extra money on the weekends, for instance. This is a really convenient and profitable way to increase your income.  It is undoubtedly a must-consider opportunity for doctors seeking a change!
