Managing Your Locum Business And Also Dealing With Your Business As A GP Locum
It's unusual times we live in today. Physicians who know about health and medicine are being increasingly asked to be more involved in management and in essence are running a business - a field they're not trained for or have experience in. As a doctor I was open mouthed when the present govt rolled out their program to scrap primary care trusts and put GP consortium's in control of the large budget of the NHS. Sure, medical input should be at the forefront of commissioning decisions, but I do think having doctors running the NHS is essentially a recipe for disaster. Yes there are medical practitioners who are good at managing a business, but not sufficient for what the govt proposes.
The same is true of GP practices and GP locums. GP practices are essentially independent businesses contracting to the NHS. Several GP practices are run really effectively and make lots of money for the GP partners, and some practices are run extremely inefficiently leaving the medical professionals with a wage significantly below the normal GP. A GP locum is usually a newly qualified GP, and as a locum they're supposed to effectively run their own business. This involves promoting themselves and getting work, managing invoice creation and billing and managing their finances and accounts. It is no wonder lots of new GP locums feel a bit overwhelmed by this - a task they were not trained to do. I have recently found a web-site which helps locum GPs manage all these administrative tasks and permits them to focus on what they do best - being doctors.
I hope this trend in the National Health Service to more privatisation and medical practitioners being expected to effectively run a business does not continue, or at the very least - if it does that more training is provided.
