AGM Exhibition

We are pleased to have attended the AGM conference, which was one of the biggest doctor events in the UK. During this event, we registered over 3,000 new doctors looking for locum work across the UK. During the day, we were giving out loads of goodie bags to everyone who registered with us as well as free massages to doctors who came to our stand. Having attended several conferences in the past this was one of our most successful events that we attended and in the future, we aim to register even more doctors.

The greatest part of the event was being able to meet some of the doctors that we currently work with and meet doctors that we will work with in the future. This event was an excellent opportunity for us to strengthen current relationships and build new ones.

If we didn’t get to see you at the Acute and General Medicine (AGM) conference, please don’t hesitate to call us on 020 8969 9915 or via email at doctors@medecho.com or register on our website and we will get back to with all the information that you need.

Number of locum Doctors has doubled since 2009

The amount of hospital doctors choosing to work as locums has almost doubled since 2009. Between 2009 and 2015 the amount of locum doctors in hospitals increased by 96%, from 8,176 in 2009 to 16,002 in 2015. This signifies a 12% average yearly rise. On average, 1304 more doctors each year are electing to work as locums.

Using statistics on locums and National Statistics on medical practitioners, they calculated that locum doctors are making 44% more on average than their salaried colleagues.

The analysis of pay rates found that the annual pay of salaried doctors was £65 843 and the annual pay of medical locums is £95 040.
