Dr G.S.

Consultant Rheumatologist

All staff members have been very professional, helpful and friendly. Unite Medical is probably the best agency I have worked with. Small in size but big in performance.

Dr S.V.

Consultant Ophthalmologist

I was not interested in any new opportunities until Unite Medical contacted me. Their comfortable and engaging communication style enabled me to consider another opportunity I'm glad to have taken up. I am now settled in a job where I'm very happy.

Dr P.M.

Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist

I have retired from the NHS and was seeking occasional locum work. Having not worked as a locum for 30 years, I initially found the world of agencies difficult to navigate but Unite Medical helped to simplify the whole process and the advisor assigned to me has always been very supportive and full of good advice.
