I have been a locum at two stages in my career, the beginning and the end.
Full time locum opportunities just did not exist in my young days. all locums were for a full week while proprietor was on holiday etc.

During all my years in industry I worked approx one Saturday a month and the occasional Sunday rota just to keep my hand in. I am very glad I did so, as at the time I was made redundant from Roche, my boss had not worked in community for 20 years (before conversion to metric and computers). He did one day in a pharmacy and decided not for him. I was made redundant on a Tuesday and the following Monday was at work in community.

Regular work as an employee has a lot going for it. Just after retiring from industry, I was happy to be an employee with BTC, and still am although not actually worked for BTC for over a year.
