Each month Mediplacements would like to recognise one of our locums for their personal achievement and commitment to the Healthcare service.

Name: Hetal Patel

Profession: Phlebotomist

Where are you from? : India

Current Locum position? Phlebotomist

What do you like about your job?
The most rewarding aspect of my job is achieving patient satisfaction. I always strive to provide the best possible care to patients and provide an accurate, pain-free Phlebotomy service. I have a kind and friendly disposition and hope to put a smile on my patient’s faces!
One of the main benefits of being a locum Phlebotomist is the flexibility of hours and the variety of new people I meet and get to work with at my placements. Mediplacements always find me convenient jobs and schedules to suit, which is a great help as I can catch up on my volunteer work as a BMS in the afternoon.

Personal achievements within your role?
I love to put a smile on patient’s faces and know I’ve done a good job, if I’m requested by patients again; it’s a great achievement as a Phlebotomist. Receiving appreciations and compliments from my employers gives me great satisfaction and makes me proud being locum Phlebotomist of Mediplacements.
Mediplacements always provides me with new and challenging opportunities allowing me to progress within my career, without their help and support I would not have been able to achieve success in my professional life.

How do you unwind from work?
In my spare time I like to read spiritual books and autobiographies, attend Meditation and Yoga classes which helps me to relieve stress and serves well being.
I love to socialise, and I love nature, so I like to travel and site-see as often as I can with my family and friends.
