Bank doctors
A bank doctor is a fully qualified doctor who is temporarily
covering a position, for example, if a doctor is on sick leave or
there is large workload in a GP surgery or hospital ward that
requires the support of a temporary doctor. All doctors, other than
a foun-dation year one doctors, can work as locum doctors.
Bank doctors can therefore be foundation year two junior
doctors, junior doctors in speciality training, SAS doctors, GPs or
consultants working in hospital. All locum doctors are
fully-registered with, and regulated by, the GMC.
