https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/clinical-discussions/32335/locum-ooh-retainers Hi, Just wondering whether anyone locumming can advise if you do OOH on call cover for practices how much do you charge as a retainer? No phones, in patient checks if on drips. Can go home unless something is hospitalised where there is then accommodationen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/177911?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 19 Oct 2022 14:39:07 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:c1161c23-4883-4f3f-921a-467d76d10151Jonathan Lewis<p>Hello Heather,</p> <p>We usually advocate nurses charge a flat fee of &pound;50 for being on call and then their locum hourly rate per hour they work past the first call out. Reason being even if you are not called out at all you still can&#39;t go anywhere far as you need to be available to start at very short notice, but if they + you have a busy night with lots of checks / new patients coming in your pay is&nbsp;increased by a commensurate amount.&nbsp; Hope this makes sense!</p> <p></p> <p>Jonathan.</p> <p>Gardner Llewelyn Recruitment /GLG</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
