As we work in the industry, we understand just what you need to maximize your locum roles. Locum Calendar assists locums and the businesses they work with, the ability to schedule appointment bookings in a fast, free and effective way.
Unlike regular online calendars such as Google, Microsoft etc, Locum Calendar is specifically designed for the locum. It is a highly evolved replacement to older more time consuming practices when connecting with businesses that need a locum to fill in for their regular staff members.
As it targets more of the "needs" of the locum and business alike, your booking experience is likely to change in a positive way.
How does it work for the Locum?
With Locum calendar, you can add all the free dates you are available, just by clicking the relevant timeslots to fit your schedule. This is automatically updated graphically, in a simple one screen format, for the business friends that hire your services, to view.
Your business friends do not have to call you, or email you to ask if you can meet their appointments any more - they just click your free slots on their screen, which automatically sends you a request order. If you want to fill the appointment of that particular business, you just click accept - no more calling to see if the spot is still available!
You can also do this even when you are away from your desk using your Blackberry or other smartphone - Real convenience !
It is that simple.Compare that to our competitors and you will find that the extra tasks that you would have to do with them, do not exist with Locum calendar.
For example, in Google Calendar, you have to set your details including "dragging" the times you are available, in a repetitive form. People have to email or call you to see if the time can be booked. You then have to go and update your calendar to show the booking is taken. Even the share feature is cumbersome which can lead to confusion with overwriting your details, multiple entries from various sharers etc.
With Locum Calendar, no email or phone call necessary or unnecessary errors from multiple interaction, as the booking is fully automatic. You set the free slot and the business clicks to book it! Everything then updates itself, while informing all others about the booking, so no need to cross check or waste time on locum dates that do not exist.
There are many features that benefit the locum and business alike:
