Following its March 31 conclusion, final results from the Urban Locum Program (ULP) Pilot highlight its reach and impact. From October 2022 to March 2026, 206 host physicians and 87 locums participated, supporting 2,941 days of coverage.
Coverage spanned both local Divisions, with 41% of shifts in the South Island Division and 59% in the Victoria Division. The pilot’s results underscore the value of a coordinated locum model in improving access to coverage and reducing administrative burden. A full report of the pilot is expected in the next months.
