I'm in a practice that is a founder member of MaidDoc (the Maidstone
area co-op). As far as I can see most local practices have different
approaches to this problem and of course the financial setup of each co-
op varies too.
We have full and part time partners and some that are on the night rota
and some that are not.
Our approach, which seems to work, is to continue our agreed practice
shares from pre co-op days and to continue to produce our usual duty
rota.
The practice then pays the fixed co-op charges ie the "sub" before the
profits are split up. The variable charges i.e. the rate per call
charges are paid by the partner on duty at the time the work is done (ie
he can dip in and out of the service as he likes but has to pay the
bill). Any income from working the shifts is kept by the working doctor
and does not form part of the practice profits.
It works for us in West Malling :-)
