Appalling

This app is so bad!
No one takes responsibility when there are problems and users just get batted around.
There are so many better systems…

Rubbish

My trust has moved over to this from patchwork. The medical director had informed we could anticipate a better user experience. Nonsense. None of my old WLI shifts have appeared from patchwork and the managers can’t seem to add them. I don’t need this!

FAQ

What does Locum's Nest do?

Locum's Nest is a digital platform that connects healthcare professionals with temporary work opportunities in hospitals and GP practices across the UK. It allows users to find shifts, manage their schedules, track payments, and store important credentials digitally.

How can I find shifts on Locum's Nest?

You can find shifts by registering with your professional details and setting filters based on your specialty, availability, seniority, and desired location. Once registered, you can apply to thousands of available shifts with a single tap, accessing detailed job information including times and pay rates.

Is Locum's Nest free to use?

Based on the provided information, the app is free to download and use. There is no mention of subscription fees, in-app purchases, or advertisements, suggesting it operates on a free model for healthcare professionals.

What is the Digital Passport feature?

The Digital Passport is a built-in feature that allows you to keep all your professional credentials and paperwork up-to-date and stored in a safe digital vault. This eliminates the need to repeatedly provide the same documentation to different employers, streamlining the application process.

Can I work for multiple employers through Locum's Nest?

Yes, the app facilitates working across different employers through its Collaborative Banks feature. This allows you to cross-cover shifts, avoiding the need for separate HR checks or joining individual staff banks, and potentially consolidating payments.
