To cancel a shift, follow these steps in your app:

  1. Select the shift.
  2. Click on the three dots next to the shift details.
  3. Choose 'Remove Shift.'

The locum will be automatically notified of the cancellation. We recommend messaging the locum via the chat function to inform them of the cancellation before proceeding.
