At last hospital locums long-denied their
fair share of study leave, training, teaching,
CPD, audit input and opportunities for providing
feedback on locum posts and their quality
will be able to do this through the NCAA.
The National Clinical Assessment Authority
has been set up to support doctors and improve
standards of care. Hospital locums will
have to register with this body, which will
provide study leave and CME budget for the
unemployed and local doctors, appraisals
for revalidation and clinical attachments
where required.

LOCUM DOCTORS NEED THE NHS |
Agency locums may be able to contribute to
NHS Superannuation Scheme also we have been
told.
LDA will be liaising with NCAA and the DOH
on the details of this and how they can be
best achieved. These are some of the demands
in our Locum’s Charter, which was LDA’s first
publication on October 1997. |
