About NHS Professionals

Established in 2001, NHS Professionals are experts at putting people in places to care within NHS Trusts and the wider healthcare system in England.  We now work with more than 140 NHS Trusts and other healthcare organisations. In 2023/24, our award-winning staffing solutions displaced £688 million of external agency spend across the NHS, delivering millions of hours of patient care.

Uniquely owned by the Department of Health and Social Care, our vision is a well-staffed NHS, where healthcare professionals have the opportunity to work flexibly, and Trusts are empowered to reduce their reliance on external recruitment organisations. Our mission is to become the workforce partner of choice to the NHS, creating opportunities for flexible workers to become valued NHS Professionals Bank Members, working to NHS-assured standards.

To support staffing levels and workforce planning, our teams use specialist healthcare knowledge to deliver fully bespoke recruitment solutions, ranging from local shift cover through to national and international workforce campaigns. Specialisms on offer include: nurses and midwives, doctors, allied health professionals, healthcare scientists, personal social services and non-clinical.

Our services enable significant reinvestment into the wider healthcare economy, in addition to associated workforce efficiencies and savings made by individual NHS Trusts.

NHS Professionals prides itself on being an organisation driven by the highest quality and standards. Below you can see some of the achievements and industry recognition that we have accomplished.
