Dzuni Ngobeni
Practice Owner Vets for Pets Beckenham

I would 100% recommend Ronda. It’s a game changer.

It’s efficient, it’s cost effective, and it puts the control back where it should be – between the locum and the practice.

Maureen Murphy
Practice Owner The Hoxton Vet

The process was simple, transparent, and completely stress-free.

“We couldn’t believe how fast it worked. Our shift went live and within 42 seconds we had an application. Less than an hour later, the locum was confirmed, faster than any recruiter we’ve ever used. The process was simple, transparent, and completely stress-free.”

Alejandro Perez
Practice Owner Ecovets

Super simple, well organised and intuitive.

“I registered and posted shifts in just a few minutes. Everything’s super simple, well organised and intuitive.”

David Mwangi
Practice Owner Petwell House Vets

With Ronda’s detailed profiles and direct communication, that’s never been a problem again

“Before Ronda, we often had miscommunication and misunderstandings about shift roles and the type of locum we needed. With Ronda’s detailed profiles and direct communication, that’s never been a problem again.”

Malcolm Leow
Practice Owner Paws in the City

The rating system is especially helpful for choosing the right fit with confidence.

“The platform is super intuitive and easy to use. The rating system is especially helpful for choosing the right fit with confidence. I also really liked how easy it was to message and negotiate directly with the locum.”

Denise Diana
Head RVN Bayswater Veterinary Referral Clinic

We’ve been able to fill gaps straight away whenever needed.

“Ronda has been incredibly helpful for our practice. The direct, immediate contact makes a real difference, and we’ve been able to fill gaps straight away whenever needed. The service has been very reliable, and we’ve only had positive experiences with the locums so far. Communication through the app is clear and easy, making organising cover quick and stress-free.”

Frequently
asked
questions

Do I have to pay £59/month to use Ronda?

No. The £59/month is for Bring Your Own Locums, an optional add-on for practices that want to invite locums they already know from outside Ronda. You can use Ronda entirely through Ronda’s wider network — free to post shifts, 5.99% per completed shift, nothing else. You can start with Ronda’s wider network and activate Bring Your Own Locums whenever you are ready, or never. There is no lock-in.

How are locums vetted before they join the platform?

All locums on Ronda are verified before they can apply for shifts. We check their RCVS registration, ID, and right to work in the UK. Additionally, our review system creates ongoing quality assurance based on actual performance.

What is Your Locum Team?

Your Locum Team is your private pool of locums, notified first every time you post a shift. Build it two ways: invite locums you already trust from outside Ronda (£59/month per branch, no booking fees ever, 2 months free); or favourite a Ronda locum after a great shift at no extra cost — just the standard 5.99%. If no one in your team is available, the shift opens automatically to Ronda’s wider network.

What geographic areas does Ronda cover?

Across the UK. We support practices nationwide. Availability can vary by region and season, which means some shifts fill faster than others. Post your shift and matched locums receive automatic notification straight away; our team can also help you boost visibility if needed.

How does invoicing work?

Once a shift is complete, locums send their invoice directly through the Ronda platform. All invoices land in one centralised place in your practice account — no chasing emails or lost paperwork. Mark invoices as paid or log the payment date directly in the platform, so you always know where you stand across every branch. For multi-site practices, area managers have full visibility of invoices across all branches in one view. You pay the locum directly based on the agreed rate. The Ronda platform fee is billed separately at the end of each month.

What happens if a locum cancels?

Post an urgent shift and matched locums in your area are notified immediately. Cancellations are recorded against a locum’s profile so practices can factor reliability into future decisions.

I am too busy to set up right now. What support can I get?
