As approved members of all major temporary staffing frameworks, we provide a reliable supply of quality staff to support the changing resource needs of our clients, including NHS Trusts, Health Boards and private sector health and care providers.
We have a well-established reputation for providing quality healthcare staff in high volumes, with platinum compliance standards and 24-7 support from a network of resourcing specialists across twelve UK office locations.
Our independent Clinical Governance service is highly praised by our clients. It ensures all concerns and safeguarding issues for staff supplied into trusts are overseen, managed, and communicated effectively, with a clear, auditable process.
Clinical standards are augmented with a dedicated Revalidation team to conduct appraisals and Medacs Academy, which enables our candidates to access free CPD-accredited training, delivered in partnership with professional bodies such as the GMC, BMA and RCN.
To support with surges in demand associated with winter pressures or COVID-19, our teams also source nurses for dedicated ‘Additional Capacity Projects’. These projects offer trusts and health boards a cost-effective way to increase their nursing staffing levels during peak demand periods and avoid using off-framework agency staff.
