Cancellations by Practices
When a practice cancels a confirmed booking, it can have a major impact on the locum — especially if they’ve already arranged travel, childcare, or turned down other work.
Late Cancellation Policy
If a practice cancels with less than 18 hours’ notice before the shift start time, the full day rate will still be charged.
Why This Policy Exists
Protects locums from last-minute income loss.
Recognises the time and cost invested by the locum in preparing for the shift.
Aims to strike a fair balance between practice flexibility and locum security.
Bottom line: Practices are encouraged to give as much notice as possible when cancelling to maintain good relationships with locums and avoid cancellation charges.
