Welcome to the team Karen!
Choosing the locum life holds great appeal for many GPs. Not only does it mean they have the opportunity to work in new locations, but they can also help diverse communities, experience different work environments and grow professionally.
If you’re running a medical practice and looking to recruit quality General Practitioners, sorting out your Google Reviews might not be at the top of your to-do list. But the rating of your practice and its quality, as assessed by your patients, can play a key part in helping GPs to decide whether or not they’ll consider your practice for their next move.
