Outlook for GP locums

There is a growing need for GP locums despite cutbacks by the NHS. GP locums are not only in demand, but also have the benefit of excellent earning potential. The average GP in the UK earned more than £100 000 a year in the 2004/5 period. According to a report released on the income growth of more than 30% for general practitioners in 2004/5, the income generated by a general practitioner is closely related to the quality of service provided. Doctors that provide add-on services such as child healthcare and chronic disease centres ensure additional income and improve the popularity of a practice.

When the above is considered, it becomes evident that the job outlook for GP locums is excellent. The practices that want to expand will need additional help and as such it means more GP locums will be needed.
