One place to manage the work

From opportunity to protected payout

Each stage is connected so you can see current terms, what changed, who approved it and what needs attention next.

  1. 01

    Match and screen

    Opportunities are checked against availability, travel limits, competencies, PMR experience and scheduling conflicts before you review them.

  2. 02

    Accept current terms

    Rates, hours, duties, expenses, cancellation rules and branch readiness notes are time-stamped before you commit.

  3. 03

    Attend with a record

    Confirmation, urgent changes, attendance, messages and pharmacy updates stay linked to the booking history.

  4. 04

    Approve and protect payment

    Submit timesheets, track approval deadlines, invoice status, expenses, disputes and payout progress in one record.

Payment protection

Know what you are owed and when it should move

GoProLocum is designed to organise payment evidence before a payment problem becomes a chase.

Invoice records

Generate invoice information from accepted terms, approved hours, expenses and the final timesheet record.

Payment checks

Surface payment-authority checks, defined payment dates, credit limits and payment-reliability information.

Approval deadlines

Track timesheet approval deadlines, late-payment warnings and restrictions for accounts with overdue balances.

Exportable evidence

Keep booking, approval, dispute and payout records available for reconciliation, accounting and payment queries.

Fair terms and cancellations

Terms should not change silently after you accept

Bookings need a clear record of what was agreed, what changed and whether compensation or appeal rules apply.

Time-stamped terms

Hours, rate, duties, expenses, location and cancellation conditions retain their accepted version.

No silent changes

Material amendments show who changed what, when it changed and whether renewed acceptance is needed.

Fair cancellation records

Symmetrical cancellation rules, cancellation compensation and replacement concerns are kept with the booking.

Appeal routes

Evidence for disputed lateness, cancellation, attendance or booking changes can support a fair review.

A professional profile that grows with you

Your reputation is more than one shift

The GPL Passport is designed to maintain professional information, preferences, evidence and work history over time, without exposing private details unnecessarily.

  • Identity, GPhC or PSNI registration and right-to-work evidence
  • Professional indemnity, DBS or disclosure status and references where applicable
  • PGDs, Pharmacy First, safeguarding, BLS and anaphylaxis evidence
  • PMR experience, smartcard readiness and service competencies
  • Document-expiry monitoring, CPD and revalidation records
  • Completed assignment history, category feedback and privacy controls

I want relevant work, clear expectations and confidence that my professional information and payment are being handled properly.

Designed around the real job to be done
Pharmacy readiness

Branch readiness protects the shift

A good booking should show whether the branch is prepared for the work being requested.

  • Team composition, supervision arrangements and emergency contacts
  • PMR readiness, smartcard access, SOPs and equipment availability
  • Service readiness, required PGDs and local operating expectations
  • Known backlogs, break arrangements, opening and closing tasks
  • Lone-working risks and known branch issues disclosed before attendance

Better cover starts with clear expectations on both sides before the shift begins.

Readiness before arrival
Professional protection

Feedback and safety concerns need context

Professional records should separate useful feedback, evidence-supported disputes and clinical safety reporting.

Category feedback

Ratings can distinguish punctuality, communication, clinical fit and operational context instead of reducing a shift to one score.

Right to reply

Pharmacists can attach context and appeal disputed lateness, cancellation, conduct or attendance records.

Safety reporting

Clinical or operational safety concerns can be recorded separately from general ratings and reviewed with supporting evidence.

No retaliation signal

Raising a documented safety concern should not automatically damage future access to suitable opportunities.

Beyond hiring

Value after the assignment is filled

GoProLocum can support the professional and business work that surrounds locum practice.

CPD and revalidation

Maintain CPD, revalidation and competency pathway records alongside real assignment history.

Trusted networks

Build preferred-pharmacy networks, peer discussion routes and paid training opportunities over time.

Wellbeing and debriefs

Keep space for incident debriefing, wellbeing resources and support after difficult assignments.

Business support

Connect records to accounting exports, administration support and relevant insurance or professional partners.
