[quote user="Sal the 1st"]I haven't done any locum work in the last 7 years and yet I have had 4 requests in the last week (3 different agencies)- interestingly 2 of them were plugging the same job. How long do agencies keep your details? Is it a case of once encountered never forgotten or 'desperate times call for desperate measures - call in the dinosaur'?[/quote]

I havnt locumed for over 8 years and for some reason im still on lots of locum data bases - even though I have never signed on with any of them except Rigg Recruitment. It seems as though staff move around from one agency to another and 'steal' previous contact details to use in their new job! I have asked numerous times to be take off said lists as I have been permanently employed ever since , but to no avail. Have to say though that its nice to just keep an eye on what is out there as im pretty sure we all, as qualified nurses like to 'keep in touch' of what may be greener on the other side lol

I don't know if you're able to contact them and ask to be taken off their books?

I seem to be getting a lot of e-mails with locum positions as well, I've never locumed before but I did register with an agency when trying to find work about 3 years ago. I don't know if you're able to contact them and ask to be taken off their books?
