Why Locum Work

The Benefits of Going Locum as a GP

Locum GP work gives you control that salaried employment simply can't match. You choose your sessions, your settings, and your locations — and with rates well above the NHS salaried scale, the financial benefits are significant.

SHR Group manages your compliance, your timesheets, and your payroll — so all you have to do is show up and practice excellent medicine.

Locum Pay & Compliance

How Locum GP Pay Works with SHR

We make locum pay as straightforward as possible. You complete sessions, we handle the rest — timesheets, invoicing, and payment — so you're never chasing money.

All our locum GPs are fully compliant before their first session. We manage your GMC, DBS, and indemnity verification so you and your clients are protected from day one.

1
Complete Your Sessions
Work your agreed locum sessions at the practice. No admin, no invoicing — just clinical work.
2
Submit Your Timesheet
Log hours via our simple timesheet system. Signed off by the practice, sent straight to payroll.
3
Get Paid Promptly
Payment processed quickly and reliably. We track every invoice and chase late payments on your behalf.
4
Ongoing Compliance Support
We monitor your GMC, DBS, and indemnity renewals — and remind you before anything expires.
Why SHR Group

The Locum GP Agency That Actually Delivers

We've built our reputation on getting locum GPs placed fast, paying promptly, and never leaving a practice short-staffed.

Same-Day Placement

Need work tomorrow? We regularly place locum GPs within 24 hours of registration. Our active practice network means fast turnarounds.

💷
Best Rates, Negotiated

We benchmark locum rates weekly across every UK region and always push to get you the best deal available in your area.

Compliance Fully Managed

GMC, DBS, indemnity, right-to-work — all verified and maintained by us, so you're always ready to start a new role immediately.

💸
Prompt, Reliable Payment

We process timesheets quickly and chase late payments proactively. You focus on patients — we make sure you get paid on time.

🔗
NHS Framework Approved

Our NHS framework status opens more NHS-direct locum bookings across England — roles that non-framework agencies can't access.

🤝
Long-Term Relationships

We're not transactional. Many of our locum GPs have worked with the same SHR consultant for years — because consistency matters.
