Booking
Availability
Neil offers live on-line availability through two complementary GP Locum services: GPNetworks and LocumOrganiser.
The GPNetworks diary is freely available but a little limited whilst the LocumOrganiser diary is superior but requires client practices to sign up (but it is free to use).
Area Covered
Neil offers cover in the area marked above: essentially Chichester, Bognor Regis, Littlehampton, Worthing, Brighton & Hove, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Horsham, Crawley, Eastbourne and surrounding towns and villages in East and West Sussex.
Notes About Fees
Neil charges all his fees at a fully inclusive rate including NHSPA Pension Employer’s Contributions. Provision of medical services is VAT exempt.
Invoices are issued monthly for settlement within 28 days. Administration fees and interest are applied to late settlements.
Some practices choose to ask doctors to type and send their own letters, rather than dictate them. Neil is happy to do this but additional time is required to do this properly and safely. Wherever possible Neil uses his own Dragon Medical dictation software to work as effciently as possible on behalf of clients.
This service is already included in half and full day bookings but extra time will be charged when surgery-only bookings have been made. Basic form filling is included in surgery-only bookings as is dictation of letters.
Working with Locum Agencies
Neil sometimes works with locum agencies to fill niche skill gaps and hard-to-cover sessions.
Locum agencies are welcome to contact Neil if they have sessions and he has availability but they should ensure they are able to offer competitive rates. Speculative approaches are not welcomed and waste everyone’s time.

Terms and Conditions
Dr Neil Iosson undertakes to provide the following services when contracted to do so:
- Fully qualified General Practitioner, accredited by the GMC.
- Included on South-East Provider list and regularly appraised and up-to-date through continuing education
- Full indemnity through Medical Defence Union
- All basic clinical examination equipment and car (fully insured) for visits
Cancellation: Once a booking has been confirmed by both parties by telephone, email or letter it is binding. In the event of cancellation by the client: cancellation fees of 75% will apply if cancelled within 72 hours, 50% will apply if cancelled within 14 days of the due start date and 25% between 14 and 28 days. Dr Iosson will not cancel any booking except due to exceptional circumstances such as illness, injury etc. He will endeavour to find a replacement locum where possible but cannot guarantee to do so and is not responsible for failure to do so, any difference in a replacement locum’s charging structure and is not liable for any fees or consequential loss.
Confidentiality: Dr Neil Iosson guarantees both patient confidentiality as required by the GMC and all aspects of
commercial confidentiality for his employer.
Parking: If a car is required for planned activities and a parking space is not provided, any applicable car parking fees will be charged back to the surgery at cost.
Surgery duration: A surgery is defined as starting from the first appointment time to the end of the last planned appointment. Overruns and time for administration, form filling, dictating letters etc are not charged. Practice managers must decide whether they wish to book additional time for “extras” – this can be negotiated on the day if necessary. For those practices that choose not to provide medical secretaries to type up referral letters and instead ask doctors to do this – Dr Iosson is very happy to do so but any additional time required to do so will be charged at usual rates (unless part of a half or full day surgery booking).
Settlement terms: Invoices will be issued within 28 days, to be settled in full within 28 calendar days. A £40 administration fee will be charged for late payment and interest at 2% per month compounded each month will be charged in accordance with English law until the invoice is settled in full.
Implementation: Fees effective from 1st April 2024. Making a booking for dates after 31 March 2024 is considered acceptance of terms and conditions and fees charged unless different terms have been agreed in writing.
