Stand-in doctor (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

locum

'stand-in doctor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for locum that I've seen before include "temporary occupant" , "one won't be in position for ever!" , "A substitute or stand-in doctor" , "Stand-in, for a doctor say" , "Doctor's deputy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Mirror, The Times, the Evening Standard and The Independent.
