Agency Management Services

NHS Professionals recognises the unique challenges that the NHS face in sourcing and managing the contingent workforce.  It is impossible to run a health system subject to demands that fluctuate unpredictably from day-to-day and hour-to-hour without being able to draw from a pool of temporary workforce at short notice. The NHS family recognises that recruitment agencies do perform an imperative role by helping align the temporary workforce with demand to ensure safer staffing levels at Trusts can be met.

NHSP’s aim is to work collaboratively with agencies, engaging with them to provide support and enabling them to utilise NHSP booking platforms. In addition to this, we aim to to maximise opportunities and agency shift fill rates to benefit our client Trusts whilst delivering to the high standards of patient care.

Our designated Agency Support Team are available to support recruitment agencies at our client Trusts, providing administrative and technical support. We also have guidance on booking an agency worker into a shift or onto an NHSP system.
