Your staffing, your way
Lantum isn't a locum agency. Instead, it's a platform where you're in total control. Once you're registered, you have a network of locums on-hand when you need them. Post sessions to the whole network to have the best chance of filling them, or curate a little black book of your favourite locums so you know exactly who you're booking.
As the NHS focuses on improving access to Primary Care, Lantum makes it easier to fill your shifts, improve capacity and resilience, and deliver the best service for your patients.
Whether you want to plan ahead for holiday cover or be ready to respond to last-minute sickness, out team will be happy to have a quick chat to explain how Lantum can support you.
Flexible staffing, with no commitment
Choose a subscription for cost-effective, long-term staffing, or pay-as-you-go when you need emergency cover. Every booking costs up to 30% less than traditional staffing agencies.

The majority of shifts on Lantum receive applications within as little as two hours — making it a quick and easy way to cover last-minute gaps.

Getting the most out of Lantum
I have been using Lantum for both practice and Enhanced Access provision for over 5 years now. I find the platform easy to use and affordable; saving valuable time phoning around to find someone to cover a last-minute shift. The support function is great and takes responsibility away from the practice Practice Manager
I find Lantum really easy to use. I set the rate myself, I can view all Clinical Governance online beforehand and I always fill sessions. I used to spend hours dealing with locums but thankfully this is no longer the case. It's the perfect Practice Manager tool Melanie Potts, Practice Manager
It's very easy to use — I posted my sessions within minutes and had applications from GPs within an hour. They remove the headache of paperwork with all of the vetted documents stored online and easy to access, and the team is always on hand if I need any support Sally Holdsworth, Practice Manager
About Lantum
Lantum was started 12 years ago because our founders saw practices struggling to find local, high-quality clinicians when they needed them. By using technology to connect local practices and locums, they believed short-staffing could become a thing of the past and expensive staffing agencies could be eliminated. Lantum is now used in over 20 ICBs and 50% of GP practices across the country as a way to provide easy and quick access to local vetted primary care staff.
