Throughout my year, I had a great experience with Alexandru Marin one of the recruitment consultants from ID medical who found locum work regularly and efficiently. Alex was amazing at answering any questions quickly and was able to sort out issues very fast. Could not recommend him enough! As a whole, the locum agency is very good at responding to queries and able to help with all sorts of issues quickly through phone/email. Would recommend to any doctor!

I had the pleasure to work with ID Medical for number of years as a Locum Doctor. I especially had a very positive experience with my recruitment consultant Saahir Parkar. He is very flexible in his approach and is always available to offer his support. With his in-depth knowledge and experience of the locum market, he was able to find me jobs that matched both my personal and professional needs.
He was very helpful in making sure that my professional commitments such as mandatory training and appraisal etc were completed on time. I would highly recommend ID Medical and Saahir to my medical colleagues.

He has very good knowledge about the locum market in various regions of UK and always made sure that I get the right placement appropriately on time. Mr Saahir Parkar is fully competent in his job and has good values and principles. I wish him success in the future and would like to continue working alongside him.
