It’s never too early to think about holiday coverage.  Every year I hear the same thing:  “It’s August, I have plenty of time to think about securing my holiday coverage.”  Or, “I’ll find someone to cover for me….I always do." 

Without fail, I get those frantic, last minute phone calls with someone urgently trying to find coverage. That phone call typically sounds like this: “I have a 6:00 flight to meet my family for Thanksgiving and I need to arrange coverage for next week.”  Or, three days before Christmas I hear, “I have two doctors who will be out the week between Christmas and New Years...can you help?” 

The likelihood of being able to assist a person at this late stage is difficult.  It can be done, but it presents numerous challenges.  As the holidays grow near, most available locums doctors have already been booked for the typical vacation periods that surround the holidays.  Therefore, I say this:  don’t book your holiday flight before you book your holiday coverage. Secure your coverage now. It will bring you peace of mind and allow you to enjoy your holiday season.
