Why is it needed? • QOF – visiting identified the problems • You are not going on holiday • Problems with locum agencies • Cost • Unreliable?
Why is it needed? • 20 Practices expressed an interest • Weeks taken last year 0 – 6 [ no data 4] • Average weeks last year 4.3
Why is it needed? • Possible uptake • 2 – 10 weeks per year [ no data 3] • Suggests 95 – 105 weeks between respondants
The answer ! • Affordable cover • £2000- £2500 per week [ may be less if we can get pct subsidy] • Unlikely this year due to overspend • Make a pack • We will produce a template of information to help your locum run the practice the way you want • Meet them first – you will meet the locum before going away to explain what you want
The answer ! • We provide mentoring and support for locums during your holiday
What to do next • Sign up to the system • We need to provide at least 46 weeks work for viability • We will try and share out best weeks • If you have unpopular weeks one year you will get priority in subsequent years • Or we can charge more for popular weeks • What do you want?
Remaining Problems • PCT support • We need them to employ doctors • Keeps costs down • Less risk • Strategy for illness in locums ?
