NEED FOR LOCUM RADIOGRAPHER AT HEALTHCARE CENTRES |
Posted: November 12, 2013 |
There is increased demand for locum radiographers in most healthcare facilities. Most healthcare centres need radiographers with experience in the use of GE machines, and the most preferable candidates for their jobs are those who have recent experience in working with hospitals or clinics in the U.K. They are also supposed to be very motivated and have a good attitude towards radiography work. Most healthcare centres in the U.K are seeking the services of locum recruitment agencies in hiring radiographers. The Locum agencies are offering several benefits in order to attract and hire the most skilled and dedicated radiographers for their client healthcare centres, they include: very attractive pay rates, CPD assistance, Occupational health assistance, access to the YW discounted car fees, among other benefits. All of these in a bid to satisfy the high seasonal demand for radiographers in healthcare centres. There are some many locum recruitment agencies who are seeking locum radiographers as the demand for radiographer on temporary basis keeps increasing in Britain. Such factors as fulltime radiographers going on sick leave or there being a surge in the number of patients requiring radiography services, make many health care centres in the U.K to seek out for locum radiographers. And locum recruitment agencies offer medical health care centres with a variety of services that range from hiring of temporary radiographers, permanent radiographers and radiography recruitment campaign management among other services. And the demand is not only met by local radiographers in Britain, Some radiographers always travel from Australia and New Zealand to the UK on an annual basis. Theirs is like a rite of passage, to come and work temporarily in the U.K and travel and see the marvels of Europe. There are locum recruitment agencies that organize for Australian and New Zealand radiographers to visit and work in the U.K. The visiting radiographers not only work in London but their services are offered through the U.K. The locum agencies can arrange for Australian and New Zealand radiographers to work in the U.K from durations as short as two weeks to even on permanent basis. The U.K has around 19,000 locum medical practitioners including doctors. Most of them are supplied by private recruitment agencies, through a national framework agreement between the National Health Service and 51 private locum recruitment agencies. There are also general practice locum radiographers who work independent of locum recruitment agencies; they mostly work as self-employed or through freelance general practice chambers. And some general practice radiographers are also employed by the primary care trusts (PCTs) to offer temporary radiography services. However, the British government is now instituting a health plan that will lead to most PCTs being closed thus will make it very hard for medical practitioners to work on freelance basis. Locum radiographers will need to be flexible, adaptable, resourceful, of high professionalism and IT savvy to be able to secure the numerous locum radiography opportunities. Nonetheless, there will still be a huge demand by healthcare centres for locum radiographers. Bio: Kevin Rose is professional blogger and writer. Currently he is associated with Locum Doctor Jobs.
