Many thanks,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please contact practices in your area directly and then it saves everyone the fees and middlemen associated with agencies. I&amp;#39;d rather train a monkey to monitor an anaesthetic than pay extra fees on top (in reference to recent threads on GA monitoring, not a dig at you).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We don&amp;#39;t need agencies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I mostly agree with that - there are very few good agencies out there. Most will attempt to bleed you and the practice dry. The way I see it is why would I want to work as a locum for the same or less an hourly rate that I would earn as permanent staff (and yes this really does happen when the agency has made all their little deductions and negotiated a rate with the employer and maybe signed you up as being available for 3 out of 5 nights on call as well)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: locum agency</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/172110?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 Apr 2018 16:33:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:d69322c9-3104-424b-b462-91fdbb8d5f28</guid><dc:creator>apache</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;Hannah Hughes&amp;quot;]I want to start locum work has anybody had any good experience with any agency?&amp;nbsp;[/quote]&lt;/p&gt;
