The scale of London's primary care challenge — and the opportunity it creates for GPs.
Why SHR Group
We're based in Holborn — at the heart of London. We know the boroughs, the ICBs, the practices, and the rates.
We're based in EC1N. Our consultants know London's primary care landscape borough by borough — which practices are hiring, what they pay, and how they operate.
Need a GP in Tower Hamlets tomorrow? We maintain one of the largest active GP networks in London — emergency cover placed within hours.
Every London GP we place has verified GMC registration, DBS, indemnity, and right-to-work — fully NHS-compliant before day one.
London locum rates run higher than the national average. We benchmark every role weekly and ensure you're getting what the market will bear.
Approved within NHS procurement frameworks across all London ICBs — giving you access to direct NHS bookings no other agency can offer.
One consultant who knows London, knows your preferences, and proactively keeps you in front of the best roles across the capital.
How It Works
Quick registration, fast compliance, and you're placed — often within 24 hours.
Tell us your GMC number, preferred boroughs, role type, and ideal sessions per week — takes five minutes.
We verify your GMC, DBS, and indemnity — then match you to active London roles that fit your criteria, borough, and availability.
Accept a role and we handle everything — contracts, timesheets, payroll. You focus on patients across London.
What London GPs Say
SHR's London team are genuinely the best I've worked with. They know the boroughs, they know the practices, and they actually called me rather than just emailing a generic list.
I found my salaried GP role in Hackney through SHR. They understood the PCN structure and found me a role that genuinely matched what I wanted — not just what was available.
We needed emergency locum cover in Lambeth at 8am and SHR had someone confirmed by 9:30. Fully compliant, professional, and the GP was excellent. Remarkable service.
