Consultant Psychiatrists Scotland Referral Scheme
We’re delighted to launch our Psychiatry Partnership Referral Scheme, designed to support the continued development of both you and your colleagues.
When you refer a Consultant Psychiatrist to Direct Medics, and they complete their first placement in Scotland with us, you’ll both receive up to £500 towards career development costs—including courses, conferences, professional memberships (such as RCPsych), or other CPD-related expenses.
This isn’t just a thank you—it’s a reflection of our commitment to your long-term professional growth and our belief in building meaningful, career-focused partnerships.
