https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/18416/time-between-agency-and-approaching-yourself Hello! Does anybody know how long you have to legally wait between when you locum for a practice through an agency and when the practice can approach you personally (or vice versa) to work? Are all the agencies different?

I went to a vets and 7months later the vets contacted me direct . The agency somehow found out and said the vets needed to pay them for me going. Be carfull. I would send letters to all vets in area so u can say you had contact b4 any agent sent you details.
