Medical assignments online - 03/2001

Up-to-minute information

Provider of medical locums Medacs has developed a website which is set to revolutionise the way that vacancies are filled. www.medacs.com will provide real time information matching vacancies with available medical professionals.

As well as online registration and information updates, doctors can use the site's live job search facility, which is updated every three minutes. Via www.medacs.com, they are able to apply for placements online, cutting down on the time that is taken with traditional recruitment. Clients, including NHS and private hospitals, secure environments, local authorities and the commercial care sector, will have access to Medacs' secure database of potential medical professionals available at short notice - FrostNet.

The site will enable locum doctors and their employers to access continually updated information in real time. www.medacs.com will also contain links to other useful sites, providing a 'one-stop-shop' for medical professionals.

This is a pioneering step, said David Jones, managing director at Medacs. The medical sector has a need for up-to-the-minute information day and night. We are providing a real time link between medical professionals and the organisations who wish to employ them. In the past, doctors and employers have been able to register details, but these have been downloaded on a daily basis. By updating our information every three minutes we can ensure that the site is fresh, relevant and a useful resource for organisations all over the UK with a need for medical staff.
