HCL Doctors awarded NHS Scotland Medical Locum Framework

LONDON - April 23, 2013 - PRLog -- HCL Doctors has been confirmed on the NHS Scotland Medical Locum Framework and will begin supplying staff from the first of May.

HCL Doctors Managing Director Liz Bickley said HCL Doctors will be one of only a handful of agencies to supply medical locums to the 14 health boards across Scotland, and the framework, initially a two-year contract, has the possibility to extend for a further two years.

“We are delighted to supply our services in Scotland following the work we have done to integrate with the hospital trusts in England. As an organisation, we affiliate ourselves closely with clients and have a clear understanding of the logistical and fiscal issues they face on a day-to-day basis.

“By working closely with the NHS Scotland Medical Locum Framework, our partnership will benefit national health boards and enable them to procure a high volume of high quality, compliant and cost-effective medical staff from us, as required.”

The win confirms HCL Doctors’ place in Scotland and forms the basis of future growth plans to increase the firm’s presence in the region.

“The framework maximises investment in patient care and helps to deliver high quality services while ensuring value for money, all of which is in-line with HCL Doctors’ service offering.”  

As one of the largest agencies in the market place, HCL Doctors is already a preferred framework-approved agency to a large number of hospitals and procurement departments across the UK.  

Ends.
