Client Services

It’s easy to think of a locum agency like a match making service, simply finding people to fill positions. At MP Locums, all of our clients matter much more than that. We take the time to find out about your business and your patients so that we can place doctors with you who will feel like they’ve been part of the team for years.

What you can expect from us...

With the volume of administration required in our profession, it’s not easy to find time to evaluate the doctors who send CVs. Even if you do manage to find time, it’s difficult to keep track of everybody’s availability.

At MP Locums, we help you solve these problems with one phone call. We are your HR backup, ready to find you the ideal doctor to cover for a colleague who is off for a day, a month, or longer. Someone you can trust to ensure your patients enjoy the high standards you demand even when their regular doctor is away.

MP Locums’ Vicki Sayers says, “I’m delighted that I’m able to place the right doctor with the right practice, but the greatest satisfaction I get in my job is in knowing that I enjoy the trust of those I deal with. I can almost hear the smile that comes from knowing there is one less issue to worry about after I’ve said to a practice manager ‘no problem, I’ll get that sorted.”

We thoroughly vet and check the doctors we employ. It’s also as important for us to understand their qualifications and experience as it is to understand their professional ambitions and their personality. It’s only by doing this that we’re confident we’ll deliver exactly the right person on time, every time.

Pick up the phone and let us help you make life simpler, better and easier. At MP Locums, we are an agent for change, an agent for choice and an agent for you.
