Please let’s take a moment to consider the challenges locums face . New managers and teams, often in crises, allocated the most challenging cases, cases left untouched or poorly managed , risks through the roof . More recently crap IT both NHS and SSD couldn’t agree on interfacing, no work mobiles. So mountains of work needed to be done yesterday, no IT support. Managers with limited experience , over whelmed, promoted way to soon and left feeling threatened by experienced competent locums.

Locums have saved the day, the crises, the battle time after time either no thanks , praise or awards.

Please locums have to put up with abuse, neglect, bullying , being undermined and ridiculed because they are the hired help.

In recent years perm staff can work flexibly but not locums . Double standards discriminate against locums

Locums are the special ops of SSD , show some respect for these quiet unsung heroes.
