COVID-19 Travel Updates
I recently moved to New Zealand from South Africa and I commend Lucy Bellette from Global Medics on her excellent and professional service. Despite moving in the time of a pandemic my experience has been nothing short of amazing. I was greeted and welcomed by Lucy on arrival and guided through all we needed to embark on to start our journey in Auckland. I would strongly recommend Global Medics to help doctors that are looking to move to New Zealand.
Global Medics has been managing my locum work over the past year and my consultant has been excellent at getting me regular and varied work throughout NZ. He responds to any issues promptly and has my best interests at heart. His understanding of the ENT locum landscape is second to none. I highly recommend him and hope he continues to maintain his high standards.
My experience with Global Medics has been nothing short of spectacular. I've been working closely with Bianca Lam throughout various locum positions I have filled over the past 6 months and have felt extremely supported every step of the way. I have recommended Global Medics to many of my colleagues and will continue to do so. Simply the friendliest team with utmost professionalism.
Global Medics has been a very supportive locum agency, providing Canberra Hospital with experienced doctors. Canberra Health Service have stricter policies for locums than other health services, Global Medics always provide what is required and promptly.
I would like to thank you for all you have done to help me, and my family enjoy the challenges of the locum work. Your commitment to work and looking after your clients is impressive.
Thanks, Chris, for all your hard work. I was chatting to some of the other Locums last week in Wagga and we were all very impressed by your efforts in helping us arrange work.
The Global Medics team have been superb to work with. They try very hard to ensure I not only have to work but that the work is right for me. They make all the processes for finding work and travelling to and from jobs very straightforward. They always keep my interests at the forefront of what they do. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
Well done Teams at the Global Medics! Greatly appreciate the dedication and the services provided to us.
Global Medics is now a benchmark with which I will compare against all other agencies
Global Medics is an amazing team, the agents I have dealt with are personable, efficient, and always working to serve you best! They do a terrific job and making sure you feel respected and heard.
Global Medics get good jobs! They have made travelling and working around Australia easy, fun, and rewarding.
I would highly recommend working with Global Medics to find a locum or permanent GP position. Lewis was friendly, efficient, and found exactly what I was looking for. He understood my specific needs and worked with me to find the best position.
I'm now settled into a job that I find to be well supported, interesting, and gratifying in a location where I can do all my favourite outdoor activities. It's a bit of a dream. I'm grateful to Max at Global Medics for his help, for being open, affable, and highly attentive to detail. Can't fault the service of the team in any way.
Judy has gone above and beyond when helping me, at short notice late at night, sort out options when I was caught out with interstate travel because of a local Covid outbreak. I would recommend Global Medics to any doctor considering working as either a specialist or generalist locum.
I would strongly recommend Global Medics to any doctor looking for locum work, and I intend to continue working with Global Medics for the duration of my training
I have been doing consultant locum work in gastroenterology for 5 years and throughout that time the staff at Global Medics have been my source of work and have supported every aspect involved. I have found them to be reliable and professional and to have exceptional communication skills. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
Jess makes my life so much easier - only having to deal with one person from one agency takes a lot of the hassle out of Locuming. She has never let me down and I have no hesitation in recommending Jess to my colleagues.
The team at Global Medics have been thorough professionals during my tenure as a locum provider. They deserve all the accolades for being so supportive and helpful and making my transition with this company flawless. Highly recommend considering them as your locum consultants.
Working with Global Medics this past year has been a real pleasure! All the medical consultants at Global Medics have been outstanding.
I am very happy with the services provided by Global Medics. You guys are a very passionate, easy-going, and fast responding team.
The mental health recruitment team at Global Medics helped to make my transition to locum work as smooth as possible. They supported me through completing the initial administrative requirements, were always prompt with updating me on newly available roles, responded to my queries efficiently, and found a role for me that aligned well with what I was looking for. I highly recommend Global Medics for negotiating the world of locum work.
Babs and team have always delivered promptly and professionally. Always responsive, supportive and flexible with changes or events during locum placement. I have been with the Global Medics Mental Health team for some years now - much recommended.
