It has been a splendid experience working with The GP Locum Agency for a few years now. I was initially with another agency when my colleague introduced me to them and I have never looked back. The team are very efficient and ready to help, they offer advice that I found very useful and resourceful. I get a prompt response to my queries. There is high fidelity in the way they carry out their business. Moreover, they relate well and I can recollect two occasions they have paid me courtesy visits at my placements. 

They also keep us updated on organisation processes at the agency even if it does not relate to our clinical work. I am proud to say that most of the colleagues I know have their LOCUM placements through The GP Locum Agency.
GP from Middlesex
I have always found the staff members at The GP Locum Agency very friendly and approachable when looking for a locum.  They always keep me informed when looking for a GP, whether it’s good news or not, but on the whole they have supplied me with excellent GP’s.

I have been approached by a number of locum agencies in the past and because of their approach, The GP locum Agency is the only one I have ever considered joining. They are friendly, cheerful, respectful and supportive. Right from the start the work they offered suited me perfectly. 

Their efficiency and prompt weekly payment have reduced my admin work dramatically.
Joining the agency has positively enhanced my work and life as a locum, I am very grateful to everyone in the team.

Without any iota of doubt, GP locum is by far the best Locum agency. They seem to have more jobs than any other locum agency.

They are efficient in getting your paper work through compliance and make sure you are up to date; Constant assistance to make sure you are fine wherever they have placed you. Support throughout, reminders of the job booked so you don't get it mixed up. Payment is done promptly and not only that they chase up your timesheet if not received from you, unlike other agencies.

They help with getting an evaluation done which you can use for your appraisal. They assist in making sure your available dates are booked by sending requests to let them know your availability. The team at GP locum agency is very friendly though you might not have seen them they, with time, feel like part of your family.

I recommend them to any GP or GP practices.
GP from Essex
We have used The GP Locum Agency for many years. Contact with the agency is excellent and they have always sorted out any issues/problems or the need for urgent cover. There is always someone contactable any time of day even as early as 6.30am! and are always helpful.

The agency always tries to accommodate surgery request i.e. times etc., however, if this is not possible they always try to match up as best and will talk with the GP's to do this and get to a solution.

Documents are always supplied as and when required and if anything is missing this is always followed up and forwarded when available. Confirmation of bookings has always been very speedy.

Overall the services we have received from the agency and the GP's has been very good and they are an extremely approachable and friendly team.

I have had a most cordial working relationship with The GP Locum Agency. This is premised on an inimitable professional touch to your services, including great attention to details, prompt notification and confirmation of job bookings, prompt payment for jobs done and easy access to all members of the team. I find their regular reminders for booked sessions very helpful just as their regular evaluations remain revolutionary as is their trademark support for appraisals and revalidation.​
GP from Hampshire
I have been working with the GP Locum Agency over the last few years. They have been very efficient at securing GP Locums for the Practice – often at very short notice.

The GP Locums they provide have been very good and I have had no issues with any of the GP’s so far. The staff are polite and professional at all times and soon know what the Practice preferences are so they can try to meet our requirements.
Customer in West Yorkshire
I have been working for Advice Online via the GP locum agency for just over a couple of months. Firstly, the support from the GP Locum agency is probably the best I’ve had from any locum agency. Bearing in mind I’ve been a locum on and off for 9 years, I know what I’m talking about.

Working for Advice Online gives me the flexibility to work when I want to work from home.  The general pressures of working in an NHS GP surgery don’t exist.  No-one interrupts with prescription requests or queries.  There is no pressure to stick to a 10-minute consultation.  There are no home visits.  You get paid for the exact work you do.

There is also a support network of staff behind the scenes at Advice Online for any concerns or queries.

Reliable, Dependable, Efficient and Trustworthy - Enough said!
GP from Yorkshire
I stumbled across this agency on a Google search. The regular agency I used to use let me down last minute for a 3-week cover, which was planned 6/12 in advance.

I started using GP LOCUM AGENCY from April 2017. I was really amazed at the turnaround from the events earlier. I was designated one advisor; Amy Parker, who has been great, she literally works day and night to make sure my needs are matched (I can be very picky). Also when Amy was not around, the team always was supportive, all my queries were always passed on to the team, which showed that the team was always in constant communication to meet all needs and they worked together making sure everything was handed over correctly.

The GP LOCUM AGENCY is now my main point of contact for locum GPs and Nurses. I have previously had good reports with agencies but not as transparent as this one. They provide excellent GPs and Nurses. Our surgery is located in what may be deemed a rough area, a lot of GPs refuse to come working here due to its notorious history of being a rough area, but I can assure you, all the sessions they confirm with me, the GPs/Nurses never cancel.

I know this review seems too good to be true with all the positivity, but I can assure you they really are a great agency.

A NOTE TO THE MANAGEMENT TEAM: whatever you do, do not let go of Amy, Ruth and the team they are working in. ABSOLUTELY GREAT!

Thank you for all the help and I apologise for all the emails and calls.
Customer in North London
I am a full-time GP Locum and have been working with The GP Locum Agency for a number of years. In fact, I work with them exclusively and have rejected multiple offers to work with other agencies. The reason is that they offer a variety of work including GP surgeries, OOH, Walk in Centres and HMP works. Their rates are very competitive. The team is very nice, friendly, always approachable and extremely helpful. I have highly recommended The GP Locum Agency to a number of my friends and will continue to do so. 
GP from Cheshire
I am with The GP Locum Agency for a few years now. Very helpful team. Lovely cooperative staff. Very Efficient in payments too. I get updates on relevant work opportunities nearly every day. 
GP from Hertfordshire

I have found The GP locum agency the most professional locum agency among all the agencies so far I have worked with. They are brilliant with communications, excellent with finding work and crisp with payments. I recently received an adorable gift from them on the birth of my baby girl which was a refreshing surprise! 

I can only see my professional relationship growing stronger with them in the future. I would highly recommend them to other GP’s
GP from West Midlands
I cannot fault the help that we always get from this Agency.  My requests for cover are always responded to immediately and they are in constant contact with me regarding the help that I need.   The Staff are so approachable and friendly and they respond to any issues that I may have with concern and helpfulness.
 
They are almost always able to help with any Locum cover that I may need, and if, on occasions, they are unable to, I am confident that it is not for the want of trying.
 
Great Agency, I will most definitely continue to use them.
Customer from Essex
The best agency ever! We're more like friends than agency/worker they are so friendly I end up chatting with some them for hours! There is such a variety of work available.  Whenever I call for work someone gets on the case immediately. Even if there isn't anything on the books (very rare) they will go the extra mile and proactively seek out jobs for me.  I've never had a pay problem in the 2 years I've been registered with them.  They are exceptionally flexible and accommodating. They are amazing!
GP from London
I have been working as a locum GP with The GP Locum Agency for three years now. I have over the years worked for several agencies but find The GP Locum Agency to be by far the best agency in this line of business. They are most efficient in all aspects of their business and I feel are more concerned about matching the right GP with their customers rather than just putting a GP on a seat. I tell them my availability, where I want to work, what times I want to work and the type of work I want to complete and they take all this into consideration when offering me roles.

The team there are very friendly and will help with anything I request. My payments are made every week without fail. I would recommend this agency to any locum GP, particularly to new GP's starting out in the Locum world as The GP Locum Agency are the most accommodating and approachable agency they will find and will guide new GP's into the Locum world smoothly and efficiently.

GP from Middlesex
We have used ‘The GP locum Agency’ since they started in business.All relevant documents supplied and checked.Staff are professional, courteous, and friendly.  I am kept informed of the progress at all times. They work tirelessly to book locums that met our requirements, if they were unable to do this 90% of the time they offer you slightly alternative clinic times etc, it was then down to us as a surgery to see if it met our current requirements.

I deal with the agency via email, they are always very prompt in their response to you. We have always found them very helpful and friendly and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.

GP from Buckinghamshire
The GP Locum Agency not only keep us updated when filling sessions but also give an update on what assignments they are still working on for you. Not only is my main contact always helpful, all of their staff are helpful. If my usual contact is on annual leave, the person covering is equally as good. They will do their utmost to supply exactly as you require. They are very approachable via email or telephone and in the two years we have been working with them are very easy to reach and reply to my emails extremely quickly taking and concerns that they have received my urgent requests out of the equation.

The GP’s they are supply are always checked for compliance and the necessary documentation sent to me quickly. Confirmations of bookings made are also promptly sent. In my experience - all of the locums booked via The GP Locum Agency have been very professional and reliable. The GP Locum Agency team are always friendly and keen to help in any way they can.

GP from Essex
I have been working with The GP Locum Agency for many years. I have nothing negative to say. As a team, they work together; communications are clear; prompt payments; find enough work; send reminders and evaluations; very friendly; ....and I am in love with 'my dear Ruth'!
GP from Derbyshire
The GP Locum Agency is a great locum agency. We have worked with them for 3 years and always get a personal and excellent service from the team. They are very friendly, always ready to help, super organised and they will ensure all your time sheets are in and appropriate payment made. There are some other agencies that will not chase you up for time sheets and payments but they will make sure you paid every penny you have worked for. They send reminders for your shifts and support you with feedback from surgeries which is very useful for appraisals. Ruth, Steve and the team have been a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend them.
