Document renewal requirements, and the reduced costs for training courses in South Africa
Annual Renewal Documents Required to Get Shifts
Renewing your certification and registrations on an annual basis is standard practice for medical professionals across the globe, ensuring you are one hundred percent compliant and cleared for work is of utmost importance, giving our group of agencies the opportunity to place you on assignments on an ongoing basis. Without a complete compliance passport, we will not place you on shifts, so please pay special attention to the requirements.
Our Staffshift application gives you guidance on the compliance processes, please login to your profile, click “Compliance Passport” and follow the prompts.
We will list the requirements within this blog, but please do make use of the Staffshift resources, they are tailor made to offer you the precise guidance you need to get shifts.
