ABOUT VERIFICATION Every hospital, clinic, laboratory, college and agency is checked by our team before it can post a job or message anyone. We verify organisations. We do not verify individuals β€” our Professional Verification Policy sets out exactly what that means and what it does not. SAFETY AND CONTROL Report or block anyone, mute a conversation, and decide who can reach you. Our team reviews every report. You can delete your account, and everything in it, from inside the app. A NOTE ON CLINICAL CONTENT Discussion on FoosMD is professional education between colleagues. It is not medical advice, and it is never a substitute for your own clinical judgement or for the care of a treating doctor. Cases are shared with identifying details removed.

About

ProLocum

Features
Read full description

ProLocum connects hospitals with verified doctors and nurses for locum shifts, permanent vacancies and IPD cover across India. OPEN TO EVERYONE Any doctor, nurse or hospital in India can create a free account β€” no invitation, no employer and no referral code needed. You can browse the open shifts before you even sign up. FOR DOCTORS AND NURSES Browse shifts near you, filtered to your qualification and preferred ward. Every listing shows the hospital, the ward, the hours, the bed count and the fee before you apply β€” no negotiating in the dark. Apply in one tap. Track each application from applied through onboard, arrival and completion. Show your arrival code at the hospital to confirm you turned up. Get paid directly, bank to bank. Add your UPI ID once and hospitals can scan a QR to pay you. You confirm the money arrived β€” nobody else can mark a shift paid on your behalf. FOR HOSPITALS Post a shift in under a minute and reach verified staff in your city. See who applied, their qualification, experience and rating, and accept or keep someone on standby. Pay the fee by UPI or cash when the shift is done, with the transaction reference recorded so a disputed payment can be traced. VERIFIED, NOT JUST REGISTERED Every doctor and nurse uploads their council registration, Aadhaar and PAN, and our team checks them before the account can apply for anything. Clinical staffing is regulated in India, and we treat it that way. TRANSACTION HISTORY Every shift fee and wallet movement in one list, with the UPI reference, the date and the current state β€” paid, awaiting confirmation, or reported not received β€” so you always know where your money is. ProLocum never holds your money. Shift fees pass directly between the two accounts and we take no commission on them.
