"Flu & travel jab lead. Diabetic reviews."
Trusted by UK GP surgeries, medical centres & primary care groups

Primary care agencies still don't understand primary care.

Most agencies staff pharmacies and GP surgeries with the same generic questionnaire. That's why the CVs never fit — and why your rota still has a gap.

Locums who don't know EMIS or SystmOne

They arrive Monday morning and can't log into the PMR. Whole clinic backs up. You lose the session.

🩺

Nurses signed off on nothing

An ANP with no travel jab sign-off, a practice nurse who's never done a diabetic review — because the agency didn't ask.

Cancelled clinics = lost QOF

Every unfilled session means missed enhanced service targets, DNAs, unhappy patients, stressed partners.

10,000+ compliant and pre-screened UK healthcare staff. Rated by you.

Pre-screened by our Compliance

Our compliance team has years of experience in primary-care recruitment. Not a chatbot.

PMR-verified, sign-off checked

We verify EMIS/SystmOne/Vision experience, PGD sign-offs, vaccination competencies, and independent prescribing status before a CV reaches you.

Pre-booked cover months out

PCN-wide rota planning. Regular faces your patients recognise.

No candidate you've already seen

We don't recycle CVs across agencies. Every locum we send is fresh, quality-first.

By the time a CV reaches you, we've already asked what you'd have asked.

These are the actual questions our compliance team puts to primary-care candidates.

Screening a GP

GPs walking in need to be productive from consultation one:

?

Comfortable with EMIS, SystmOne, or both?

?

What's your average consultation length?

?

Are you comfortable with QOF and enhanced services?

?

How do you handle a complex polypharmacy review?

Screening an ANP

ANPs work at the top of their scope:

?

Which acute presentations do you feel most confident triaging?

?

Are you an independent prescriber?

?

How do you handle a patient outside your scope?

?

Talk me through your last on-call shift.

Screening a Practice Nurse

Clinical and administrative breadth checked both:

?

Which vaccination programmes are you signed off on — flu, travel, childhood?

?

Have you run diabetic reviews independently?

?

What CQC standards have you worked under recently?

?

How do you handle a needle-stick incident?

Screening a Clinical Pharmacist

Practice-based clinical pharmacists sit between surgery and pharmacy:

?

Have you run structured medication reviews (SMRs)?

?

Are you an independent prescriber?

?

How comfortable are you with polypharmacy in elderly patients?

?

Which PMR — EMIS, SystmOne — have you worked in?

Screening Reception

Patient experience + data protection:

?

Have you used care navigation before?

?

Which appointment systems — SystmOne, EMIS Web, Vision?

?

How would you handle a distressed patient at the desk?

?

Talk me through a data-protection scenario.

Six years of listening to UK practice managers means we ask exactly what a practice manager would.
