Where the numbers come from

Sessional's reference rate, September 2026, from the rates our users record and the regional benchmark; not a BMA figure. Sessional is not affiliated with or endorsed by the BMA. The BMA does not recommend rates for self-employed locums. The UK median and regional uplift factors are derived from Pulse Today locum-rate surveys (2025 to 2026), Locumate and Lantum aggregate data, and published rate cards from large GP federations and PCNs.

Figures are indicative. Your individual rate depends on negotiation, the specific booking, urgency, OOH or weekend uplifts, and the organisation. This tool exists to anchor the conversation, not to dictate it.
