GP locum insurance? Don’t bother, we’ve got it sorted!

Oct 21, 2015

Talking to a GP, I asked him how the practice would cope if one of their 5 GP partners was off work ill for a while.

As you’d expect, he said that, for a few weeks, they’d rally round to cover their colleague’s sessions.  In such a large practice, that’s certainly feasible for a period and we talked about how long they’d be able to rally round  and what toll this would have on doctors who were already fully committed.
