This announcement means ID Medical clients can continue to receive the highest levels of service they have been accustomed to, underpinned with unrivalled quality and governance standards.
I am delighted that ID Medical continues to be recognised for its highly skilled medical locums and robust levels of clinical governance.
ID Medical also has the opportunity to demonstrate to Trusts our transformation services to provide various cost efficient solutions.
Having also opened an operational office in central London, we look forward to extending our innovative workflow solutions and methodologies to new clients in London, as well as across the UK.”
