GP Locum issues
On the GP social media, locum GPs are angry that they are unable to find jobs because other allied healthcare professionals are undercutting them. Locum GPs are fully qualified GPs who work on a temporary basis, and they are often used to fill gaps in the workforce when a GP is on leave or sick. However, in recent months, there has been a growing trend of allied healthcare professionals, such as nurse practitioners, paramedics and physician assistants, taking on GP roles.
