There are many different career options as a vet, and one of the most profitable is that of acting as a locum. A locum is someone who stands in for a permanent member of a veterinary practice who is away for one reason or another. There can be lots of reasons why a permanent member of the team may be away, including things such as sickness, jury service, bereavement, pregnancy, accidents, suspension, paternity leave, delayed return from a holiday abroad, and so on.

Locum Insurance is Essential For A Modern GP Practice
When you run an independent stand-alone medical practice, one of the things that you need to ensure is that you can always attend to your patients. That means that, from time to time, you will need to employ a locum to cover for absences of your partners or other senior staff in order to keep everything ticking over smoothly.
Locum Insurance: What You Need To Know About Our Policies
When you run any sort of business that is connected with health, be it a GP practice, dentist, optician, physiotherapist, pharmacy, or veterinary surgery, you always need to be able to attend to patients no matter whether your practice has staff off sick or away from work for any other reason. That means that, from time to time, you will require the services of a locum to stand in and keep your numbers up to full strength so that you can continue to provide the services that you do.
What You Need To Know About Locum Insurance For Dentists
In 2020 there were approximately 41,300 dental practitioners in the UK (https://www.statista.com/statistics/318885/numbers-of-dental-practitioners-in-the-uk/) and approximately 12,300 dental practices, so that equates to just over 3.35 dentists per practice. Thus, the average practice does not have a huge number of staff running it. Obviously, each dentist needs a nurse, and some practices may also have a dental hygienist as well. Add in a couple of receptionists, and that adds up to around ten or a dozen people in all.
