When you run a GP practice it is not the same as running, say, an antique shop. If you own an antique shop and are unfortunate enough to go sick for a month, the worst that can happen is that you have no income for that month. But you can just put a notice on the door telling customers that you are off sick and will be back at whatever time you think. Even if you have a customer who sees something in the window that he or she wants, they will come back for it when you re-open.
Advantages And Disadvantages Of Working As A Locum
If you are a doctor working as a locum there are advantages and disadvantages. One very big advantage is that you will earn more as a locum than as a practising doctor or hospital doctor, but then, on the other hand, the work can tend to be seasonal, and this means that you won’t always have a job to go to in the morning.
Running A GP Practice Is The Same As Running A Business
Most people never give any consideration to how their GP gets paid, but simply assume that he or she earns a lot of money, and certainly, this can be true. Indeed, salaried GPs earn from £58,808 to £88,744 depending upon the length of service and experience.
Locum Insurance For A Pharmacy
When you run a pharmacy, you are in the front line, very often, as regards patients who have prescriptions from their doctor. They may go from one year to the next without seeing their doctor if they suffer from no fresh health issues, and with Covid-19 it means that many patients have not seen a doctor for two years or more, since most pharmacies now arrange to collect repeat prescriptions from the GP’s surgery in any case.
