What It Is
If no locum accepts your booking request within 2 hours, Airlocum automatically resends it to boost your chances of filling the shift.

Key Point: The system copies all filters from your original search.


Filter Impact on Rebookings

  • Show my favourites → Rebooking only goes to your favourites list

  • Price filter → Rebooking respects your price limits

  • Distance filter → Rebooking stays within your set mileage

  • No filters → Rebooking goes to all available locums in your area


Two Main Strategies

1. Controlled Rebooking (for selective practices)

  • Build a Favourites list of 15–30+ trusted locums

  • Always use Show my favourites filter

  • Add other filters (price, skills, distance) as needed

2. Maximum Coverage (for urgent shifts)

  • Use minimal/no filters in your initial search

  • Allows both initial and rebooked requests to reach all suitable locums


💡 Tip:
Plan your filter strategy before booking. Controlled filters give precision; no filters maximise speed.
