  • Applications may have closed

LocumTap connects clinicians (think Doctors, Nurses) directly with vacant shifts
This is saving the NHS millions (and counting), keeps clinicians happy and makes sure a doctor is there when you need one most

You can think of LocumTap as a marketplace product, one side Employers, another side Clinicians

  • For Employers: LocumTap ramps up the recruitment of clinicians, meaning more people ready to book your vacant shifts
    It automates repetitive tasks—enabling shifts to be requested, filled and paid faster than yesterday
  • For Clinicians: LocumTap enables you to join healthcare organisations that are local to you
    You can browse available shifts in realtime, have relevant shifts recommended to you, book instantly and get paid on time

Backed by the Harvard Business Angels and founded by former NHS Doctors, LocumTap is being brought to life by a talented and diverse team of designers, engineers, and implementers
