Doctors Direct is growing! Greater Manchester Mental Health joined the Doctors Direct family in October and University Hospitals Plymouth will be joining us in December. A big welcome to our new trusts and locums!
We are evolving - 2018 has also seen our first Doctors Direct Bankshare® in the North, with
Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Salford Royal joining together to give locums greater choice of location and shifts with no extra registration requirements.
Meeting our Doctors Direct locums and supporting our bookers - 2018 has seen the start of our engagement days at our trusts, aimed at offering our locums the chance to meet your on-site teams to get help and support with any system queries, or just to pop along and say hi! These will be happening more regularly in 2019 so look out for your exclusive invites to our drop in sessions.
Locum shift fill has increased! Thanks to your hard work, locum shift fill for our NHS trusts has increased by over 150,000 shifts in just 3 years, that is incredible!
