Hiring in London

What the London market looks like.

London has the densest concentration of acute trusts, specialist centres and independent providers in the UK, so cover requirements move quickly and often start at short notice. Travel across zones matters as much as postcode: many assignments are realistically commutable from several boroughs, and cross-site working between hospitals within the same trust is common.
