Locum Connect
Locum Connect
Locum Connect is a new service making it easier to find and offer longitudinal family physician coverage across Greater Victoria and Salt Spring Island.
By providing a centralized, easy-to-use hub that connects locum and host physicians to respective practice coverage opportunities, Locum Connect supports physician well-being, reduces administrative burden, and helps strengthen recruitment, retention, and continuity of care.
It allows local physicians to take much-needed time off, lets new grads and new-to-the-community physicians explore different clinics, and helps retiring physicians work on their own schedule.
Host Family Physician Eligibility
Host Physicians must be a full member of the Victoria or South Island Division of Family Practice and provide clinic-based, longitudinal care to a panel of patients.
Locum Family Physician Eligibility
Locum physicians must have a full license to practice family medicine in BC and have a College ID and MSP number (or expect to obtain them within the next 3 months).
How to Enrol
Enrolment is open for locums looking to provide support and host physicians seeking coverage.
Family Physicians Looking to Provide Coverage (Locums):
Please complete the locum enrolment form. We will then get in touch to set up an orientation and give you access to our scheduling platform to view and accept work.
Family Physicians Seeking Coverage (hosts):
Please complete the host enrolment form which highlights host physician rules and responsibilities. After submitting your enrolment, hosts are sent a coverage request form and invited to submit their desired days off for matching with locum physicians.
