Airlocum ensures every locum on our platform holds a valid GDC registration — automatically, with no manual checks required.


The Problem with Traditional Agencies

  • Manual GDC checks, often only once a year (31 July).

  • Risk of missed updates during busy periods.

  • Expired or suspended registrations may go unnoticed for months.
