South Cheshire & Vale Royal GP Alliance and North Staffordshire GP Federation have designed a local GP Locum Bank to fulfil the needs of GP Practices to fill locum sessions.
Our GP Locum Bank has been created as follows: https://www.findmealocum.co.uk and launched in January 2018.
Our vision primarily is to develop a local GP Locum Bank to support GP Practices to secure locum sessions to fulfil their needs along with building a supply of high calibre available GP locums.
Project Funding
This GP Platform was initially designed and launched to support the delivery of the GP Career Plus Scheme, with funding from NHS England. This Platform has now been extended to include a Locum bank.
Project Implementation Date

Practices in the Project
All GP Practices across South Cheshire and Vale Royal and North Staffordshire who decide to take part in the scheme will benefit from acquiring GP locums.
