I made sure before making the effort of beginning my registration that this agency covered Kent, which they confirmed. I have had one call in three months sums it up really. If you don't answer on the first ring and then call back they give the job away.

They are very quick at replying if you have any queries. They are a friendly and professional team that respect both the pharmacies and the Locums. They are always helpful. I have never had any issues with this locum agency. They are the best ones to use.

One of the best Locum agencies in London, great lovely staff. I got registered when I was between jobs and capital locums was very helpful in getting me setup and start work for multiples immediately. Unlike other agencies, they put an effort to know you and your schedule and preferences and work around it. And a Special thanks to Mark who was relentless in chasing up payments, making sure that I got paid. Thank you capital locums for all your hard work.
