Geographic spread: Devon is a large county with both rural villages and busy hubs like Exeter and Plymouth. Practices in more rural areas may struggle to find cover, creating opportunities for you as locums – willing to travel.
Tourism impact: Coastal towns often see seasonal demand, with practices often busier during holiday periods. Locums may be needed more frequently at these times.
Transport challenges: With longer travel times and limited public transport in rural areas, having your own car is a big advantage in Devon.
Practice variety: From NHS community clinics to modern private practices, Devon offers a wide range of working environments. Allowing you to build diverse experience across settings.
