New online Locum Talent Pool increases speed and ease of finding locums. Locums invited to register and create their own profiles.

As part of its efforts to increase ease of access to locums, Integrated Dental Holdings (IDH) has launched a new online Locum Talent Pool.  

The new portal is designed to help IDH practice managers find registered locums in their local area more easily, as well as making it more straightforward for locums to find IDH placements.

For locum clinicians, it offers greater control and flexibility for their work. Once registered, they can pick and choose the most suitable locations for them. Each clinician can update and amend their profile and availability as many times as they choose to reflect changes in their career or their circumstances.

The Locum Talent Pool means IDH practice managers will have greater control over their business when locum support is required. Practice managers will have the choice and importantly, the final say over who comes to work in their practice. clinicians joining the pool will find their details available to practice managers in the locations that they have specified they are willing to work. Practice managers will also be able to contact Locums directly, to agree days and start dates.

Matt Reeves, head of resourcing at IDH, says, “Our Locums enjoy great earning potential and plenty of support. We can accommodate most working patterns. The new system has been designed to improve the speed and ease of access to locum support when it is needed. This benefits clinicians and local practices but most importantly patients. With the new service, we hope to reduce the time it takes to get a locum into a practice, so that when cover is needed it can be put in place quickly. This is particularly important around the busiest times of year, ensuring patients can be seen when appointments are most in demand.”

“As we have practices across the UK, locums can work close to home and at different practices depending on their needs and availability.”
