Jan 15,2025Messly is a good platform to find locum work in addition to regular NHS work, and most of the agencies I found on their platform are helpful. Messly is involved in the very start of the process of working with a locum agency but they do not usually follow through with their registration process with the agency. I felt stranded at times as my agency was demanding of a lot of documentation which I deemed unnecessary. It would be helpful if Messly laid down some guidelines for pathway of registration with an agency. Overall, totally recommended!

Dec 10,2024I was unsure how to approach my F3 locum year, but finding Messly has been a game-changer for me. I’m very grateful for all the information the website provided about F3. Signing up on Messly was quick and easy, and uploading documents in one place has been incredibly helpful. I especially liked the OneRef feature, which allowed me to obtain references effortlessly. I was quickly contacted by multiple agencies and was able to secure locum roles in my specialty of choice. Messly is a fantastic website, and I definitely recommend it!

Nov 30,2024The app is very user friendly. Initially it took me some time to understand how it works but once that is done, managing through it becomes easy. Instead of looking for recruiters individually, Messly allows an individual to be found by different recruiters and that makes life much easier. Once references are shared on Messly, it can be accessed by different recruiters, with your permission of course, and hence no need for separate references for different recruiters. Uploading of documents is so easy. I managed to secure work within 2 weeks of downloading the app and uploading my paperwork Well done Messly

Oct 17,2024Didn’t know how and where to start looking for starting my F3 locum year. Messly is a great place to get the process started. Quick and easy process of signing up and being able to see the agencies available. Contacted very quickly by multiple agencies and able to choose which one was most suitable for me through Messly. Also has lots of helpful information regarding locuming. Great website and would recommend people to use!

Sep 10,2024Messly provides a lot of good information for doctors. They have a well built interface that allows you to upload important documents quickly. The OneRef feature for getting references is also very fast and smooth. Jake

Sep 04,2024Good app for locums. Excellent one stop portal. It can be such a faff getting registered with agencies but messly makes it easy for you to share all your documents and reference in one click so you don't have to keep sharing these. Love it

Aug 22,2024Really easy to use; there is loads of information as well as looking for locum work; one reference for all agencies is very helpful! A lot of the locum work advertised are no longer available and some of the agencies are not the best at responding (but this is no fault of Messly). Locum through agencies does not always have the same rate as the bank rates. I did a locum where the bank rate was actually much better than the agency rate so probably just be mindful of that when applying.

Aug 17,2024Pros - one ref system, chat to agencies Cons - most of the jobs advertised aren’t available. You end up doing so much paperwork and not getting the jobs advertised

Feb 17,2025very disappinting paltform The advertised jobs always not available, and the agencies use the trick to get doctors to regiseter with them, then they dont contact the doctor even if tehy show interest in future jobs This platform does not worth the time spent on it
