Employment of locums in the NHS will have a negative effect on patient care according to niche job board BritishMedicalJobs MD, Andre Shelton.
There has been a 55% increase in demand for locum vacancies due to the withdrawal of key services from the NHS. The problem is that a health service that is overstretched will almost certainly suffer if it needs to rely on a greater percentage of locum staff. Temps have their place in the workforce but it would be unfair to apply so much pressure to an unstable solution.
