Short-term secondments are one of the two solutions which requires your current practice to be a network partner. For practices, this should be a no-brainer. It’s a free service to clinics, and allows them to offer travel opportunities/perks to their current and future employee’s, without risk of either losing their valuable staff members, or becoming short staffed in their absence.

The solution gives you the option to go for a short trip away, often at periods when the practice is a bit quieter (possibly in winter for seasonality affected practices), or when the practice is more comfortably staffed. It’s a great way to take a sunny break in the midst of winter, without inconveniencing your employers, or losing your job at your current practice.
