Listen "Sessional GPs - What You Need to Know"

Episode Synopsis

Sessional GPs now make up almost half of the total GP headcount* so what do GPs doing sessional work (either salaried or locum) need to know?
In this edition we're joined by Humberside LMC Medical Secretary Dr Rolan Schreiber to explore the pros and cons of working as a sessional GP including:

Stability of work and income
Employment rights
Work commitments and control over workload
CPD and revalidation
Portfolio career opportunities

There's lots of information and resources for sessional GPs on the LMC guidance pages. 
*In November 2020, GP Online gave the proportions of the total GP headcount as 53% partners, 36% salaried, 12% locums, and 1% retainers.
