Frequently asked questions
What should a locum invoice include?
A locum invoice should include your full name, registration number (GMC, GPhC, NMC, HCPC, etc.), address, the organisation you are invoicing, a unique invoice number, the invoice date, a description of each session or shift with the date and rate, the total amount, your bank details for payment, and your payment terms.
Do I need a unique invoice number?
Yes. HMRC requires self-employed individuals to issue sequentially numbered invoices. This tool auto-generates a unique number in the format SES-YYYYMMDD-XXXX, but you can edit it to match your own numbering system.
What payment terms should I use?
Most locum healthcare professionals use 14 or 28-day payment terms. NHS organisations typically pay within 30 days. You can specify your preferred terms on the invoice. 14 days is common for agency work, while 28-30 days is standard for direct bookings.
Should I include my registration number on invoices?
Yes. Including your professional registration number (GMC, GPhC, NMC, HCPC, GDC, or GOC) on invoices is good practice. It helps organisations verify your identity and is often required for their records and audit trail.
Do I need to charge VAT as a locum?
Most locum healthcare professionals do not need to charge VAT because medical services are VAT-exempt. However, if you provide non-medical services and your turnover exceeds the VAT threshold (currently £90,000), you may need to register for VAT. Consult an accountant if you are unsure.
Can I use this for limited company invoices?
Yes. If you operate through a limited company, enter your company name and details in the "Your name" and address fields. You may want to include your company registration number and VAT number (if applicable) in the notes field.
