Jo Beer, COO University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust shares her feedback, “We have been partnering with TERN to support us with international doctors across a number of specialisms where we have workforce shortages. I have been very impressed by TERN’s technology-led approach to matching the high-quality doctors for our vacancies. Our team have used the platform to shortlist, book interviews, gather feedback and manage the recruitment process for many doctors which has saved considerable time. All doctors were extensively screened and prepared for interviews, and the first offers are now being given”.
