Calendar and import

Calendar view

View your logged sessions, leave, and personal events in a monthly calendar. The calendar respects your selected UK tax year.

Paid locum shifts are sessions. Unpaid time — annual, sick, and study leave, meetings, teaching, and personal appointments — is stored as events and never appears on invoices or pension forms.

Session colours show invoice progress:

• Not invoiced — the session has not been added to an invoice.
• Awaiting payment — an invoice has been created but is not marked paid.
• Paid — payment has been recorded.

A bank icon and Pension form needed badge identify completed, pensionable sessions that are not yet included on a Form A or SOLO form. Future and non-pensionable sessions are not flagged. These pension indicators only appear when NHS pension tracking is enabled in Settings.

Import from Lantum (Pro)

Paste your Lantum iCal URL in Settings to import booked shifts. See the FAQ for how Lantum import works:

1. Copy your iCal feed URL from Lantum.
2. Open Settings → Calendar & import.
3. Paste the URL and save.
4. Review imported shifts and log them as sessions.

LocumBook also supports other booking platforms such as LocumDeck and Patchwork where iCal feeds are available.

Device calendar import (Pro)

Import events from Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or a custom iCal URL. LocumBook classifies each item: locum shifts become sessions, leave and meetings become calendar events, and personal items are shown but not selected unless you choose them. You can change the type before importing.

Agency feeds such as Lantum still import as work sessions (except cancelled events).

Calendar export and subscribe (Pro)

Export your LocumBook shifts as an iCal feed. Subscribe in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook to see your locum schedule everywhere.
