I locum once before. cannot la. very shag. after work brain fried liao. I earn that 300 bucks I feel like post call. it was a Friday night, I go back entire weekend no energy.

it's not illegal per say once u are full reg. it's just against company guidelines. they can penalise u but they can't revoke ur medical license.
at some point , marginal utility from extra money not worth it.
mo salary 6k, 300 locum pay not bad.
fp 15k, what's 300? my long term sanity more important.
I think locum exp is impt.
As a baby mo, like during the elective posting.
My boss at polyclinic at that time brought us walk abt on the first day
And asked if we are full or conditional reg
I answered full, and he asked me to locum

The idea is to appreciate our gp colleagues, and the difficulties faced by them.
So I got some slots from Sma site.
I found some locum sessions to be beneficial in my junior days.
Of course stopped after the great culling in 2018.

But it was useful then.
