  • The market alternative is locum jobs rather than private work

    Thanks. Even then, is that step from permanent to locum the only change you can make?

    Can you punt yourself as a locum around hospitals until one pays you something you are happy with (like any job), or are hospitals restrained by guidelines as to their locum payrates as well?

    Should clarify that I'm not a doctor and am only repeating what family have told me. Locum rates are negotiated by staff banks (not individuals) so they reflect local supply / demand a bit more than the nationally bargained rates.
