Perhaps the advocate could attend an earlier gp appointment with the locum. I know you don`t feel confident with him/her, but sometimes a new pair of eyes sees the problem in a different way or has alternative solutions.
Our whole practice is run by NHS now with locum doctors, but we have four out of the six who are really good, one who is on another planet and one who refuses any medication. Anyone would think it came out of his own pocket. He told one patient recently her daily chemo for eight days cost six hundred pounds a shot.....thankfully she is cut from the same cloth as me and didn`t miss him......it`s what is keeping her alive.
