What do I need to do to work as a locum doctor in the UK?
To work as a locum in the UK you will need full registration with the General Medical Council with license to practice and hold a right to work in the UK. Our sister agency Holt Doctors specialises in recruiting locum doctors in the UK and is one of the leading recruiters for the NHS - you may be referred to their team depending on your requirements.
