For Mediplacements, 2015 marks 20 years in the recruitment industry, which is a fantastic achievement for all who have been involved in making it such a success. From the founders to the healthcare locums who have used our service and everyone in between, the 20th anniversary is a celebration for everyone at Mediplacements.

It all started in 1995 with a small shop front in Newbury Park in North East London where we started our recruitment journey focusing primarily on biomedical scientists, helping them secure temporary work placements across the NHS and private sector.

After much success, Mediplacements then expanded its services to include other Health Science (HSS) and Allied Health professionals (AHP) such as those working in Cardiac Physiology and Audiology. Even today, these niche and specialised disciplines are a key part of our business model, which is still thriving.

One of the biggest achievements was gaining National Framework approval and becoming an officially recognised supplier to the NHS. The original framework that was then formulated by the Purchasing and Supply Agency (PaSA) featured only 35 national agencies that achieved this level of accreditation.

In 2006, we acquired JustPhysio to help us address the key and unique needs of physiotherapists alongside our other AHP professions with Mediplacements. JustOT was also later created to give occupational therapists their own niche recruitment service, with the same level of service that Mediplacements prides itself on.

Although a lot has changed in the last 20 years, everyone at Mediplacements is still completely focused on delivering the best possible recruitment service and offering the UK’s best healthcare opportunities to our candidates.
