Internal locum rates at your trust?

Question

Mine pays £55/hr for SHO weekend cover. Curious what others are getting — feels low for London.

At my trust in the Midlands it's £55/hour for SHO internal locum, £65 for registrar. External agency pays more but the compliance paperwork is painful.

Dr. Tariq Mahmood · Answer

London trusts seem to cap at £50/hour internally. I ended up doing bank shifts instead — better rates and no pension issues.

Dr. Sara Khan · Answer

Check if your trust has a 'staff bank' app. Ours releases shifts at 7pm and they go fast, but the rate is competitive.
