Why Locum Work
The Benefits of Going Locum as a GP
Locum GP work gives you control that salaried employment simply can't match. You choose your sessions, your settings, and your locations — and with rates well above the NHS salaried scale, the financial benefits are significant.
SHR Group manages your compliance, your timesheets, and your payroll — so all you have to do is show up and practise excellent medicine.
Higher Day Rates
Locum rates typically exceed salaried equivalent by 30–50%. You're paid for the work you do, not the hours you're contracted for.
Full Flexibility
Choose exactly when and where you work. Take time off between contracts. No annual leave restrictions.
Work Anywhere
Access roles across the entire UK. Work locally or travel — we have locum GP roles in every region.
Variety of Settings
GP surgeries, PCNs, OOH services, urgent care — broaden your experience across different primary care environments.
Compliance Managed
We handle your GMC, DBS, indemnity, and payroll — so you're always compliant without the admin burden.

Apply Locum Pay & Compliance
How Locum GP Pay Works with SHR
We make locum pay as straightforward as possible. You complete sessions, we handle the rest — timesheets, invoicing, and payment — so you're never chasing money.
All our locum GPs are fully compliant before their first session. We manage your GMC, DBS, and indemnity verification so you and your clients are protected from day one.
Complete Your Sessions
Work your agreed locum sessions at the practice. No admin, no invoicing — just clinical work.
Submit Your Timesheet
Log hours via our simple timesheet system. Signed off by the practice, sent straight to payroll.
Get Paid Promptly
Payment processed quickly and reliably. We track every invoice and chase late payments on your behalf.
Ongoing Compliance Support
We monitor your GMC, DBS, and indemnity renewals — and remind you before anything expires.
Why SHR Group
The Locum GP Agency That Actually Delivers
We've built our reputation on getting locum GPs placed fast, paying promptly, and never leaving a practice short-staffed.
Same-Day Placement
Need work tomorrow? We regularly place locum GPs within 24 hours of registration. Our active practice network means fast turnarounds.
Best Rates, Negotiated
We benchmark locum rates weekly across every UK region and always push to get you the best deal available in your area.
Compliance Fully Managed
GMC, DBS, indemnity, right-to-work — all verified and maintained by us, so you're always ready to start a new role immediately.
Prompt, Reliable Payment
We process timesheets quickly and chase late payments proactively. You focus on patients — we make sure you get paid on time.
NHS Framework Approved
Our NHS framework status opens more NHS-direct locum bookings across England — roles that non-framework agencies can't access.
Long-Term Relationships
We're not transactional. Many of our locum GPs have worked with the same SHR consultant for years — because consistency matters.

What Locum GPs Say
Trusted by Locum GPs Across the UK
SHR have been my go-to locum agency for three years. They always find me sessions quickly, the rates are consistently better than other agencies, and I've never had a payment problem.
I went locum after 12 years salaried and SHR made the transition completely painless. They handled all my compliance, found work immediately, and the pay was exactly as agreed.
Amazing agency. Great communication from registration to finding the right work — efficient system with reminders for shifts and timesheets. Payments are straight-forward and quick.
