Locum work is a great way to gain exposure to different hospital environments and patients, allowing you to access new career opportunities and understand your specialism through a broader lens. Short-term assignments, in particular, are excellent avenues for diversifying your experience, in addition to providing flexibility and greater work/life balance. But how do you know if short-term locum work is right for you?

Whether you’re a junior doctor undertaking study or you’re just looking to broaden your professional horizons, locuming is an excellent opportunity to gain some variety and flexibility in your working life.
