Press ReleasesLocumPlan introduces cover especially for veterinary practices
1 March 2010
One of the leading names in locum insurance has launched a product especially for vets and veterinary practices. LocumPlan for Vets is available entirely online at www.locumplanforvets.co.uk.
The insurance provides comprehensive cover for vets or key members of practice staff who are unable to work because of illness or accident. Absence can have a serious affect on how a practice operates, and could leave the business facing a bill of hundreds or thousands of pounds for a locum.
The LocumPlan for Vets website has a simple online quotation calculator. Vets can adjust the level of cover and excess period for any number of practice staff to see how premiums are affected. The cover can range from £200 to £3000 per week which would be payable for up to 52 weeks after a chosen excess period. The excess periods available can range from 2 to 24 weeks.
Nick Miles, Managing Director, LocumPlan said: “It’s exciting to launch this product for the veterinary industry following the success of LocumPlan among other professional practices.
“LocumPlan has a 100% claims record since it was formed in 2000. The cover includes several important benefits, such as jury service, accident and illness overseas, and we also allow our customers to change cover mid-term if their circumstances change, such as when staff join or leave.
“Locum insurance premiums may also be eligible for tax relief, depending on a practice’s business circumstances.”
The LocumPlan for Vets website has full details of cover and how to apply online.

LocumPlan makes life even easier
5th November 2007 09.00
Leading specialists in the sector, LocumPlan are pleased to announce a range of no cost enhancements to their locum insurance cover.
- LocumPlan will now pay out even if the practice is unable or chooses not to recruit a locum;
- Maximum cover has been increased to £3,000 a week;
- A range of personal accident benefits is now automatically included.
Comments Lynda Cox, LocumPlan’s General Manager, “In some parts of the country locums are a scarce resource and we recognise that medical practices may simply be unable to find a locum to step in when one of the partners falls ill. LocumPlan will pay up to 100% of the partner’s income which the practice can use to pay for a locum, reimburse other partners for providing cover or to meet essential practice expenses.
“We have also responded to clients’ needs by offering cover of up to £3,000 a month, reflecting the higher costs that today’s medical practice incurs. We will also pay a lump sum of £5,000 should one of the partners die.”
