“I have worked through Pharm Assist for nigh on 15 years. I have tried other agencies but nothing compares to Pharm Assist’s attention to detail. I am not treated as just a number ,they sort my entire locum bookings from start to finish. Sourcing suitable accommodation for stay away bookings & chasing clients when payments are late. Bookings are confirmed by email & text throughout & nothing is too much trouble. I couldn’t ask for a better locum agency to handle my work bookings.”
