PL-UK Recruitment is committed to providing a high quality service, highly competent professional staff and to minimising clinical risk. PL-UK is an NHS PASA Approved Supplier for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians and as such, we comply with all NHS PASA requirements.

For our clients, this means we can offer complete peace of mind that our locums are qualified and safe to work. For our candidates, it means joining an agency that takes professional standards seriously; and the knowledge that working with PL-UK means you are part of an elite group of locum professionals.

The documentation listed below is indicative of the information we will need before we are able to secure you work; however our consultants will guide you through the compliance process, with advice and practical assistance throughout the application stage.

Getting ready for locum work

The following documentation will be required

* Application form

* Verified copy of Passport

* Proof of eligibility to work in the UK

* Copies of all professional qualifications

* Copy of your current R.P.S.G.B. Certificate (where applicable).

* 2 passport photos

* Immunisation records for Hep B, Tuberculosis, Measles, Mumps and Rubella

* Self certification of immunity against Varicella, Tetanus, Hepatitis A, Poliomyelitis and Diptheria.

* Proof of your address, e.g. a copy of a utility bill.

* Signed top copy of our Agency Staff Handbook.

To work within the NHS all locums must have a valid enhanced CRB disclosure. PL-UK can make all the arrangements for this to be carried out but please remember this can take between 2-6 weeks.

Guidelines issued by the NHS state that all locums must have annual training in Health and Safety related issues; it would be helpful if you could forward any copies of courses you may have attended. However, if you haven’t completed the training PL-UK can make arrangements for this to be completed.

Should you have any questions about compliance, please contact Shaun at pl-uk, who will be happy to advise you further.
