Locums can earn loyalty points with agency

A loyalty points system for locums has been launched by Healthcare Locums.

Points can be spent on registration fees for the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (equivalent to 1,500 hours’ work), luxury leisure packages, professional training or items of medical clothing.

So far, 1,500 locums working for Healthcare Locums’ subsidiary companies, Thames Medics, Eurosite Medical and Medical Technical, have set up accounts with Healthcare Locums VIPpoints loyalty programme. The programme credits staff with VIPpoints based on the hours they have worked for the agency and the number of colleagues they have referred to the agency. Locums can access their accounts through the companies’ websites.
