Locum Management

e-Locums

Locum expenditure in the NHS is at an all time high with serious implications on the quality of service delivery. Zircadian’s latest addition to the junior doctor’s suite of solutions is an e-Locum module that gives you complete control in determining when a locum is needed, sourcing locums internally and managing budgets effectively. By integrating with our other solutions trusts can reduce their locum expenditure significantly and make the process of finding a suitable locum smoother and faster.

  • Identify internal locums by a Trust wide search of rosters
  • Record all locum work for EWTD calculations and record opt out agreements
  • Create a locum database of doctors that have worked at the trust previously and are familiar with the workings of the trust
  • Generate budget reports to identify past and projected costs by department
  • Reduce admin time when identifying and contacting potential locums
  • Contact doctors automatically by e-mail and text
  • Link in with external locum agencies when internal locums are not available
  • Assess locum use against sick leave, annual leave and study leave
