NHS Professionals (NHSP) run the largest NHS flexible staff bank, placing highly skilled temporary workers in NHS trusts and healthcare organisations to meet short, medium and long-term staffing needs.
Uniquely, they are owned by the Department of Health and Social Care and therefore reinvest any surplus they make directly back into the wider healthcare economy. Originally formed in 2001, this multi-award-winning business delivered over 40 million hours of patient care and 5 million shifts, working with 140+ NHS Trusts and healthcare organisations across the country.
