General practice needs the strong clinical leadership of GP partners, it needs these clinical leaders to take responsibility for providing joined-up services, and it needs the stability and continuity that comes with the partnership model.

Thanks so much to @richardfieldhouse.bsky.social for talking to me this week. It's always great to talk to him. If you're a GP locum there is loads of good advice in this podcast for you - and also some really good tips for practices on how to get the best from their locums.

My advice to every GP Locum is to book your holiday outside of normal school holiday terms if at all possible, and set up your profile on platforms like LocumDeck so that you get booked as far ahead as September 2025.
