Take time off. Your clinic — and your patients — stay looked after.
The TFHN Locum Program matches Ontario chiropody & podiatry clinics with verified locums by scope of work and dates — with anti-poaching protection built into every placement, and an emergency safety net when a provider is suddenly unable to practise.
Verified locums only
Every locum is checked by hand against the COCOO public register and must hold their own $2M professional liability insurance — expired insurance blocks matching automatically.
Your patients stay yours
Contact details are hidden until a match is confirmed, and every placement generates a standard agreement with confidentiality and a 12-month non-solicitation clause. Your clinic remains the records custodian; the platform never stores patient data.
Emergency broadcast
Provider suddenly ill? One urgent request alerts every qualified locum in the network by SMS and email within minutes — because your continuing-care obligations don't wait.
Match on scope and dates
Nail surgery, orthotics casting and dispensing, wound care, home visits — post exactly what your clinic needs and only locums with that scope and availability are notified.
Why this exists
Under the College of Chiropodists of Ontario's Discontinuation of Services guideline, failing to arrange continuing care during sick leave or incapacity can be professional misconduct — and custom orthotics must be dispensed in person by a registrant. Yet chiropody has no locum infrastructure: physicians, dentists, and pharmacists all have purpose-built registries. The TFHN Locum Program fills that gap for foot specialists, with clinic membership priced like insurance: coverage peace of mind for the whole year.
