While we would agree that doctors should honour their commitments to already-agreed locum shifts within the limits of contractual notice periods, doctors are not required to cover long-term or known rota gaps… 1/4

Doctors already work a complex and demanding role, and are entitled to decide that an employer’s offered locum rate is not worth their additional time and effort and to seek to negotiate on it 2/4
An employer trying to cajole their staff to accept an uncompetitive rate of pay for such hours, is sending a poor message regarding how they value their staff’s time and autonomy 3/4
We would advise that doctors can and should reject any attempt to control their scope for negotiation by such demeaning language, and would invite them to contact us should the employer escalate such language into actual bullying tactics
