I have used Primary Locums for the last 9 months for staffing at a local COVID vaccination site which I am Operational Director for. I literally could not have done the job without their help! I told them what staff I wanted and when and they just sorted the rest out for me, often arranging and cancelling things at very short notice. I have also used them for staff in the practice and they have always provided a great service. I can't recommend Primary Locums enough - they have been a fantastic support.

As a user of their service for recruiting temporary staff, primary locums helped us fill many a gap where needed. They are great to work with, always providing a friendly, efficient service, The team respond very quickly to requests, and really listen and care about what skills the surgery needs, to find the most appropriate staff at the time. I would recommend primary locums every time, without question. Thankyou Primary Locums!

Very professional, reliable and responsive service. We always find the team very friendly and approachable. They go above and beyond to support primary care and I often feel our heads would sink below the water without their support.

Primary Locum has been very supportive, efficient and reliable in helping provide locum shifts for me.
They are very helpful and try their best to communicate the needs of the practise as well as the locum working, to ensure that the shifts run smoothly. Also a great help by e-mailing various teaching sessions available to help with our learning and very encouraging. Thank you to the fabulous team.

Review by Linda, Practice Manager in County Durham
An agency second to none. I finished my training in August 2019 and was set to start as a GP locum, fortunately with a regular locum slot already arranged. I contacted the practice having been recommended by another GP and they were quick to get back to me, arrange a phone call if I preferred and found out what I needed the most from the agency without extra hassle. For those extra days, they are quick to respond to my queries, able to find suitable practices and even during this mad time in the pandemic have been able to provide locums with work at safe/suitable/friendly practices. They are happy for you to provide your own invoices to practices which I find easier and are also quick at forwarding on advice emails/guidelines and dates for upcoming courses/free events that may boost your portfolio/appraisal points. Every member of the team is friendly, approachable and things are never too much effort. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

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.
