If you appoint a rural GP locum, you will have to:
- Verify the locum’s provider number (including location, start and end dates and
possible restrictions) with the locum prior to commencement of duties
- Ensure that a signed copy of the Locum Request Form including details of the
person/organisation responsible for paying any fees in relation to the locum
placement (e.g. travel, additional after hours on-call fees) is completed and
returned to RWAV
- Provide the locum with a roster that accurately reflects the
locum’s workload for the duration of the assignment (including after hours
on-call duties)
- Organise suitable fully self-contained accommodation for the locum and transport
if required
- Provide a thorough briefing and handover to the locum
- Complete an evaluation form at the end of the assignment to enable us to improve
our service and provide valuable, appropriate feedback to the locum
- Read and comply with the RWAV Practice Guidelines and Obligations Manual
