Why Choose Doctors Direct?

Doctors Direct is part of NHS Professionals and owned by the Department of Health and Social Care, which means that we are part of the NHS family and sets us apart from locum agencies. Saving money and providing only the highest quality locum cover to our partner Trusts is at our very heart.

Doctors Direct is part of the NHS and does not charge our partner Trusts the expensive fees associated with private locum agencies. That means every shift worked by one of our members helps save money for the Trust and the wider NHS. These vital savings can then be reinvested into what matters most, patient care and safety.
