Avoid, avoid, avoid!

I have so many things to could talk about here that I’m actually writing a book about my experience with this company!

They consistently told me not to report concerns and complaints about the work history of others (who were lying about their previous employment), I was told not to raise concerns with the health board where we were locums… Since medgen did not act on these concerns, I did report them with the support of the RCN and it became a full blown whistleblowing investigation.

Medgen then treated me horrendously whilst I was pregnant, post pregnancy, and when I was due to return to work. I feel they started discriminating against me because I was a whistle blower and well, what I discovered over the past 2 years have made them seem all the more dodgy!

For example:
- For a locum placement they did not use the references I provided. But used a reference from one of their other employees! The very one that I had reported concerns about to them for lying about their experience!
- after asking to see my ‘contract’ for years (I worked for them full time on long term placements for years) they provided a badly filled in application form, that was not in my handwriting, had my name and address spelled wrongly and had next to no information in it… I did not fill in this form!
- lots of Maternity discrimination (how dare an agency worker get pregnant!).
- lots of lies and blatant NHS fraud (supplying nurses who have falsified their experience to get band 6 jobs which Medgen was complicit in).
- ignoring correspondences so that people are ‘timed out’ of escalating their treatment to an employment tribunal.

As I said, I’m literally writing a book to highlight how agencies are getting away with NHS fraud and how they are penalising staff who raise concerns about their other staff members!

If you value your registration and you have any morals at all you should steer clear of Medgen! Trust me, they are incompetent liars who provide staff with falsified work experience and references!

Great place to work

I'm happy to be part of Medgen now. All process from recruiting, compliance until placement was so smooth, fast and highly professional. The communication with Medgen was always great, they supported me every single step on my way to placement. They are in regular touch to find out how I'm getting on if I face any struggles at work etc. I would highly recommend them to work for.

Exceeded Expectations

I have been engaging with Sammy during the recruitment/onboarding process, who I can honestly say has been very pleasant & professional throughout.

Sammy makes the process very personable, & responds very quickly to any correspondence. Medgen, has by far exceeded my expectations so far in the onboarding process so far.

Thank you very much Connor

Thank you very much Connor. It’s been a very long winding process but it was worth it. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for assisting me in completing my registration with Medgen. It was surely a learning curve for both of us I presume. There was a lot of hurdles but we managed to trash them together. You are a true gentleman because there were times I would lose it but you stood firm and calmed me down with your polite words. At one time I never thought we were going to complete this application but we have done it. Thank you once again.

Great Experience

Since being contacted by Nelofar from Medgen till now, my experience throughout the recruitment process has been incredible, very professional, attentive, and smooth. The team are amazing and know exactly what to do and ask for in their job, especially Nelofar whom I feel very comfortable, like connecting with a close friend as she comes across as approachable, beautiful personality and friendly. She has been very helpful, supportive and responsive to all queries that I have discussed with her.

I can’t wait to start working with Medgen soon.

Thank YOU!

It is like a plane journey, when you land you are excited to what's to come. When I landed at MEDGEN I felt completely happy to belong to such a big health service provider who are pivotal in the Service User's life. Having met Louise and Bethany through my recruitment stages I can see how they value their staff. I am so proud to belong to such a professional team to deliver the highest possible healthcare with love and care.
I definitely do recommend MEDGEN to anyone.
I am landing with a happy smile.

Review for medgen.

Having worked with medgen for a while, I have a lot to say about the team. In my experience, their professionalism and attention to detail is astounding. The staff are a great bunch, especially Ella whom I have worked closely with, she is exceptionally helpful and always listening. A phone conversation with Ella is like speaking to your buddy, very approachable, respectful and considerate. Medgen is a good agency to work with.

UNIQUE

As a nurse I have had the opportunity to work with multiple agencies here in the UK and can confidently say that MEDGEN are in a class of their own. My consultant Hibo and all of her colleagues that I have had interactions with remain extremely helpful, always ready to listen and assist.
The level of professionalism and the courteous manner at which the staff attend to issues remains second to none.
