Fantastic service every time from the team. They are so helpful and efficient and a pleasure to deal with and the standard of locums supplied is always very good. I contacted Louise at 8pm last night and I had a locum in place for today within 15 minutes - wonderful!

Primary Locums have been the primary source for our locums for the past 5 years at least. Hayley, Louise and Elaine are great to work with, easy to contact and extremely reliable. There have been a few occasions where I have had to ring up last minute to book/alter and nothing is ever a problem, always a happy voice at the end of the phone and the locums who have worked at our surgery have been fantastic too. Highly recommend!

Karen, a locum worked at SMC throughout April and first few weeks in May. Karen was very friendly, efficient and fitted in with the practice easily. I would definitely use Karen (and Primary Locums) again and recommend her/them to any colleagues / neighbouring practices.

I have been with Primary Locums for over 3 yrs now . I must say they are simply the best Locum agency by far. They are very friendly, professional and competent at their job. To be able to receive an individualised support is exceptional. I would 200% recommend them to any medical professional looking for Locum work. Thank you Louise, Elaine and Hayley.
