About Urgent Locums

A UK-based healthcare staffing agency built around one thing: getting the right clinician to the right place, fast.

Built for the realities of NHS staffing

Urgent Locums was founded by people with direct experience of healthcare delivery in the UK. We understand the pressure of a depleted rota and the compliance burden faced by both clinicians and providers.

Our focus is narrow and intentional: allied health professionals. We don't try to cover everything — we build genuine expertise in the disciplines we serve, starting with Occupational Therapy and Sonography.

We work with NHS trusts, community health services, private hospitals and independent clinics across England, Wales and Scotland.
