Report
After being full-time for many years, I decided to make the switch over to locum work about a year and a half ago. A colleague of mine recommended Total Assist and I wasn't disappointed. They helped me through the whole process, from registration, compliance and then into a placement effortlessly. Couldn't recommend enough.
