GP Locum, Lancashire, Manchester, Cheshire
I am available for full-time or part-time locum General Practitioner work. I was a full-time GP Principal for 20 years, all in the same practice in Bury, Lancs. In 2005 I resigned from being senior partner at my practice in order to become a freelance GP Locum so as to release time to follow my other interests.
This was a good and well-respected practice in purpose-built premises, achieving full score in QOF, and hence I am well experienced in modern high-quality general practice, both clinically and from the business perspective.
When I work in your practice I bring not only the excellent clinical skills of an experienced doctor but also an intimate knowledge of the business of general practice and the importance to you of accurate and comprehensive QOF data, efficient administration, and patient satisfaction. I am willing to undertake most types of work, e.g. full cover, surgeries, paperwork including repeat prescriptions, visits, just let me know what sort of cover you require.
Full documents and CV available on request - email me.
Since I work freelance rather than through a GP locum agency the cost to you will be less - users of GP locum agencies need to pay commission to the locum agency on top of paying the locum fees!
I am available for booking for both standard hours and also extended hours - early mornings, evenings, and weekends.

- Greater Manchester
- Lancashire
and perhaps also:
- Cheshire
- Derbyshire
- West Yorkshire
- Merseyside
However I do accept enquiries from doctors in other parts of England and Wales so feel free to email me to see if I can cover for you.
