About NHS Professionals

One of the biggest challenges NHS trusts face, is ensuring the quality of patient care whilst working within strict budgets. A lack of available staff means unfilled shifts, which in turn leads to unfilled commitments to patients and their families. What NHS Trusts need is a reliable supply of experienced staff, ready to step in and fill shifts when trusts need them most.

And that’s where NHS Professionals comes in. Owned by the Department of Health and Social Care and part of the NHS family, NHSP is the market leader in managed flexible worker services. Working in partnership with over 55 NHS Trusts, our aim is to deliver ever more challenging service improvement plans by deploying a cost-effective, reliable and safe flexible workforce that saves money for clients while improving their bank productivity.

We have an excellent track record of helping NHS trusts to merge their temporary workforce banks by harmonising policies, procedures and pay rates. Our workforce consultancy and project management capabilities are core strengths, and because NHSP is wholly owned by the Department of Health and Social Care, all our profits are reinvested back into the NHS.
