Med-Co – The Primary Care Specialists

At Med-Co, unlike many of our competitors, we specialise only in the primary care market. By focussing exclusively on this sector, we can develop a detailed understanding of the pressures and practices you work with, and keep up to date with changes and developments which effect you.

By visiting small surgeries, large group practices, health centres and PCTs, and by taking the time to talk to people like you, we stay in touch with real issues.

Med-Co – A refreshingly personal approach to GP locum placement.

Not all locum agencies are the same ! In a world dominated by impersonal, computer driven call centres it’s often hard to find an organisation that will treat you as an individual rather than just a blank field to be filled in on a screen. If you’re fed-up with being passed from section to section, dealing with form fillers rather than decision makers, and commission hunters rather than facilitators, we think you’ll be rather pleased by our refreshingly personal and customer centred approach here at Med-Co.

At Med-Co, technology supports our process, it doesn’t drive it. Bringing GP practices and locum doctors together quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively is something our customers believe we do rather well but ask them what makes us different and makes them keep coming back to us and they’ll tell you that we treat them as a real individual not simply a commercial opportunity.

Being people centred is at the very heart of the service we provide to you.

Whether you’re a practice manager or principle searching for a locum or a doctor looking for an interesting and convenient appointment, we’ll try hard to match you with people who meet your needs and expectations.

We work in small, dedicated teams so you’ll always deal with the same people. You’ll get to know them and they you – your likes and dislikes, your working methods and environment

Med-Co – Quality Assured and Committed to Training

Members of the REC – The Recruitment and Employment Confederation, we operate to their strict codes of conduct and recommended procedures, which ensure that our relationship with you will always be conducted to the highest professional and ethical standards.

Every aspect of the service we provide to you is delivered through our staff. At Med-Co, we provide regular, structured training, to give our staff the knowledge and skills that form the building blocks for meeting your needs efficiently and courteously. From a formal induction and monthly development sessions delivered by our in-house, fully qualified CIPD trainer, through to continued study for REC professional qualifications, we are firmly committed to high standards of personal effectiveness for the benefit of all.

Med-Co Doctors – Safe, Secure and Trained, to your Requirements.

Our commitment to training and excellence doesn’t end with our own staff.

At Med-Co, all our doctors have access to our on-line training resource, where they can get essential advice and guidance in key subject areas from safe lifting and carrying, through to dealing with potentially violent patients.

We’re working jointly together with our customers to develop specialist programmes to meet our needs and we’ve just completed a video and structured workbook for locums new to prison healthcare.

And because in today’s society, you need to be sure, Med-Co is a Registered Body with the Criminal Records Bureau, licenced to carry out Disclosure Checks on every doctor we supply to you.
