Hospital Guide
A practical guide to finding, verifying, and working with doctors through LocumLink.
Getting Started
Getting Started
Onboard your hospital, set up your profile, and start posting shifts.
Getting started with LocumLink as a hospital involves creating your organisation profile, completing verification, and posting your first shift.
During onboarding, you'll provide your hospital name, location, departments, and primary contact information.
Once verified, you can immediately start posting shifts and reviewing doctor applications.
Verification
Verification
How hospital verification works and what's required.
Hospital verification confirms that your facility is a legitimate, registered healthcare institution. This builds trust with doctors considering your shifts.
Verification typically requires: proof of facility registration, authorised representative identification, and facility address verification.
Most hospitals are verified within 1–2 business days. Verified hospitals display a verification badge to doctors.
Posting Shifts
Posting Opportunities
How to create and manage shift listings.
Creating a shift listing takes about 2 minutes. You'll specify the specialty required, shift timing, location, pay rate, and any special requirements.
Once posted, your shift becomes visible to verified doctors matching your criteria. Doctors can apply directly through the platform.
You can edit, pause, or close shift listings at any time from your dashboard.
Finding Doctors
Finding Doctors
How to review and select doctors for your shifts.
When doctors apply for your shifts, you receive their verified profile including credentials, experience, and ratings from previous shifts.
You can review applications, communicate with applicants, and confirm the best-fit doctor for each shift.
All doctors on LocumLink have completed identity and credential verification before they can apply.
Managing Shifts
Managing Shifts
Shift lifecycle, confirmations, and cancellations.
After confirming a doctor, you can manage the shift through your dashboard — including viewing the doctor's details, communication, and shift status.
If a shift needs to be cancelled, you can do so through the platform. Cancellation policies apply based on timing and are outlined in our terms.
After shift completion, you confirm the doctor's attendance to trigger payment processing.
