This November, something big happened for veterinary locums.
For the first time, the London Vet Show hosted a dedicated Locum Zone - a space created entirely for locums, freelancers, and those curious about the locum lifestyle
The Locum Zone was a place to visit anytime during the show, to grab a laugh, share a story, and pick up something genuinely useful (and maybe a giant plush or two).
What's in store:
Tips & Stories Booth:
60 seconds to share your best advice, funniest shift, “wish I’d known” moment or most relatable locum tales. Not a locum? Even better. We want your insight too. Share something that could help locums feel more supported or just something you wish they knew about working with your team.
This isn’t your average giveaway — it’s a full-day quest.
Complete challenges, earn stamps, and climb the leaderboard. By the end of the show, only one person will win our legendary giant plush!
15-minute speaking slots, followed by breaks for discussion, networking, and the exchange of ideas, as well as space for our well-known Community Mastermind groups.
Digital Resource Zone:
Whether you’re day one or decade ten, our resource hub is packed with checklists, templates, and tips to help make locum life smoother.

The Locum Zone is here to change the game.
It’s: A hub for learning: With workshops and workbooks for locums, future locums, and those who work with locums.
A place to connect: Meet fellow locums, swap stories, and build professional relationships that go beyond the event.
A resource centre: Take away templates, guides, and checklists you can use straight away to improve your locum career.
A safe space: Ask questions you might not feel comfortable raising elsewhere. Share the wins and the challenges with people who get it.
A statement: Locums aren’t an afterthought. We are a vital part of the veterinary profession, and we deserve to be recognised, supported, and celebrated.
