The NASGP is the UK’s only independent membership body for the flexible, urgent and community workforce. As GP locums ourselves, we understand the challenges.

We are a national advocacy for the sessional workforce, working in partnership with NHS organisations to support local workforce solutions. We champion, support and connect you to make your work as rewarding as possible, for everyone. Get started now by joining our three-month free trial, or join now if you’re a registrar to get three months for free after your CCT as well as support while you train. By joining NASGP, you can also join our nationwide NASGP Locum Chambers, providing you with monthly peer support wherever you work plus management support for your portfolio work. Running a portfolio GP career can be a real challenge, particularly for GP locums, so we’re here to offer you unique support with NHS pensions for GPs, Self Assessment tax advice for GPs, advice on Locum Forms A and B and Type 2 forms. We have supported sessional GPs since 1997 and we’ve won General Practice Awards and HSJ Partnership Awards for our work around the UK. You can hear from our founder and chair, Dr Richard Fieldhouse, on BBC radio, national newspapers, at BMA events, and in the trade press.

And then you’re asked for more…

You’ve agreed a locum session. But when supervision comes up, it’s not quite the booking you thought you’d accepted.

Proposed changes to physician associate supervision could affect what practices ask of GP locums. Getting clear on expectations before you commit matters.

What should you agree, and how can you set it out in your terms?

Physician associate supervision: what the proposals could mean for GP locums:

Have you been asked to take on supervision that wasn’t discussed when you booked?

How much does “yes” cost you?

An extra session. A missed break. Another late finish. Each yes can feel manageable, until it starts taking time and energy you haven’t got.

Moving between practices can make it harder to challenge expectations and hold your boundaries. Being good at coping doesn’t mean the cost is sustainable.

Join Dr Sarah Coope, CEO of Wild Monday, for Balance not burnout, an honest conversation about why capable doctors overextend themselves and what to do about it.

Explore practical ways to recognise mounting pressure, set clearer boundaries and protect your capacity, at work and at home.

We’re shortlisted. Will you give us your vote? 🏆

NASGP is up for Digital Solutions Provider of the Year at the General Practice Awards, with an entry celebrating our partnership with Gloucestershire Primary Care Training Hub.

Since 2022, the partnership has helped local GPs deliver over 19,000 sessions through LocumDeck.

Behind that number is less time chasing emails, simpler booking and clearer arrangements for GPs and practices. GPs can set their availability and terms, while practices can find and book local clinicians directly, without agency fees. Less back-and-forth, more certainty and more time to focus on patient care.

The winner is decided by public vote. We’d really appreciate yours.

Locum funding has changed. Make sure you’re visible.

Practices in England can now claim reimbursement for eligible additional sessions worked by self-employed GP locums.

NASGP supported calls for this flexibility. Now it’s time to make sure practices can find you when they need cover.

Already on LocumDeck? Update your availability, check your profile and make sure your documents are current.

Not a member? Join NASGP Professional to access LocumDeck and let practices see your availability, terms and experience, and book you directly.

Eligibility conditions apply. Find out what’s changed and what it means for you:

Being a sessional GP is a professional craft in its own right.

Different practices. Different teams. You build trust quickly, adapt and deliver. That takes expertise, and it deserves recognition.

We’re developing NASGP ‘Academy’ to help you build on those skills and demonstrate what you bring, with professional recognition at its heart.

It’s part of our new membership offer launching in the next few weeks, alongside mentoring and WhatsApp groups.

Keep up with research without chasing five journals.

The Monday Clinical Brief brings together new research from five leading general practice journals each week, turning it into concise, clinically relevant summaries with links to the original papers.

For sessional GPs, it’s a simple way to see what’s new and keep up with clinical evidence alongside day-to-day work.

NASGP members get 25% off, bringing the price down to £15 a year, plus a 28-day free trial and access to the MCB CPD Tracker to record reading and reflections for appraisal.

Want GP locums included in reimbursement? Add your voice.
Current reimbursement rules restrict funding for self-employed GP locum sessions.

The possibility of changing that has now been raised in Parliament, and the Government says it is continuing to consider feedback as it looks at potential changes to the scheme.

If you think the rules should change, add your voice.

Here’s how to take action: https://nasgp.circle.so/c/news/email-your-mp-for-gp-locum-funding

Would it help to have some dedicated space to think about your locum career?

We’ll soon be launching a mentoring programme tailored specifically to GP locums.

It will be designed to give you space to step back from the day-to-day, talk through decisions, reflect on what’s working and get a fresh perspective on your work and where you want to go next.

The first round will have limited places, so if you’re a GP locum and mentoring sounds like it might be useful, register your interest now and we’ll let you know when applications open.

This is the week to understand your pension as a GP locum.

This Thursday at 7pm, pension experts from Chase de Vere will be joining us live to answer questions about pension gaps, locum work, contributions and the choices you may need to think about.

If there’s something you’ve never quite got to the bottom of, this is your chance to ask.

Book your place for Thursday 24 September.
