Locum Doctors

When the Sark Medical Officer takes holiday or study leave, a locum doctor takes his place. Locum doctors are registered with the General Medical Council and with the health services on Guernsey. Locum doctors fulfill the same role as the Medical Officer in his absence which includes responding to emergencies, dispensing medication, normal consultations and home visits. The provision of additional services such as routine cervical screening, elective minor surgery and joint injections will depend on the individual doctor.
