See below for what some of our past clients have to say about Catherine and WellMed Recruitment.
“We mainly worked with Catherine in the early months of 2020 as we were preparing to move from the UK to New Zealand to take up house officer positions at Timaru Hospital in the South Island. Catherine was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She explained the whole process to us in a clear, easy-to-understand way, and guided us through every stage. She went absolutely above and beyond to ensure that the whole experience was as smooth as it could be, and maintained a friendly and supportive approach. Our plans were thrown upside down when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, but Catherine a remained calm and reassuring presence throughout. She managed to work with us to adapt our plans, and it meant that we arrived in time for our contract start date in spite of a UK and New Zealand lockdown, plus 3 cancelled flights. We can honestly say that we wouldn’t have made it to New Zealand during the pandemic without Catherine’s help. She provides a calm, kind and professional service through a process that would otherwise be at least twice as stressful without her. We can’t recommend Catherine enough!”
“Catherine was instrumental in my move to New Zealand during a pandemic in which only Essential Workers were welcome. 2 other prominent agencies had washed their hands of me as soon as I was unable (at that time) to commit to more than 6 months’ work, but Catherine took me on. Her guidance and knowledge of the medical council requirements was very much needed.
In addition, my exclusive locum tenens work since postgraduate qualification in 2016 meant that gathering the relevant evidence and satisfying Medical Council conditions was that much more arduous. It would be safe to say that I presented a unique and unprecedented challenge in my onboarding to New Zealand General Practice. For someone to take that much care and personal interest, with many phone calls and guidance all the way for just a short contract, I have no doubt that Catherine would go the extra mile for each individual applicant.
Catherine has been an agent but is also now a close friend, and I especially admire the personal touch in what would otherwise be a stressful process.”
“Catherine has been excellent from day one and I cannot speak highly enough of her. She takes the stress out of the recruitment process and keeps you informed and up to date at all times.
The service and support we have received from Catherine has been exceptional and I would recommend her without hesitation.”
“I have worked with Catherine for a few years now. Catherine has consistently delivered on what we have requested of her. She has strong attention to detail, keeps me up to date with information regarding changes that impact our doctors coming into NZ, does what she says she will do and instills trust with those she engages with. Catherine has been working in this industry for a long time and this is reflected in her knowledge and outcomes. You will definitely be in a safe pair of hands with your recruitment and placement needs.”
“If you’ve come across this testimonial, you’re lucky enough to be thinking about working with Catherine. I’ve worked (locumed) with Catherine over a 16 year period and she is definitely one that stands out from the crowd. Catherine is always friendly, caring, hard-working and knows her stuff. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“I cannot speak highly enough of the professional and seamless experience I had with Catherine at WellMed Medical Recruitment. From the very first consultation to my eventual placement, Catherine demonstrated exceptional dedication, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of the medical field here in New Zealand. Even though my profession, as a physician associate, is just emerging, she spent the time trying to facilitate and ensure that my transition to an international position was as smooth as possible.
She took the time to understand my needs and provided continuous support, making sure that every step of the journey was clear and manageable. She even helped me find a place to live in Christchurch that was a good match for me and my family.
Thanks to Catherine at WellMed Medical Recruitment, I am now thriving in a position that offers both personal satisfaction and career growth in an international setting. I would highly recommend her services to any medical professional looking to expand their horizons and pursue opportunities abroad.

“What can I say about Catherine other than being the ultimate PROFESSIONAL and PROFICIENT medical recruitment consultant in New Zealand.
I had the privilege of working with Catherine for nearly 18 months where she organised not only an excellent selection of GP locum roles throughout the South Island but organised accommodation and all other logistical aspects allowing for a seamless process throughout.
Catherine maintained regular contact and was also contactable for advice and queries.
Invoicing, payment, and all other work-related paperwork was always seen as a priority and was dealt with promptly.
In addition to her professional role, she was also invested in making sure all doctors were treated fairly throughout their placements.
I cannot rate Catherine highly enough and would highly recommend her to manage both your transition to NZ and with her experience and breadth of knowledge, in securing your first or subsequent medical job in NZ.”
