Managed Service Provision
Central to the future of a flexible workforce in the NHS
NHS Professionals Managed Service Provision helps Trusts provide safe, high-quality care with a scalable and flexible workforce
About the service
NHS Professionals Managed Service Provision offers the flexibility of a staff bank without the hidden costs while consolidating all back-office administration.
As the leading supplier of flexible workforce solutions to the NHS, we are experts in putting people in places to care throughout England. Wholly owned by the Department for Health and Social Care, we reinvest any surplus made back into the wider healthcare economy.
Working with our specialist team, our clients benefit from decades of experience, developing bespoke staffing solutions which fit their unique needs.
Our MSP service is flexible and fully scalable, and we are able to take on clients’ whole flexible staffing requirement end-to-end. This means that they no longer need to co-ordinate work across multiple departments – for example, HR, payroll, procurement, clinical, legal and communications.
We also support clients to reduce their explicit need for resources to ensure ongoing compliance, revalidation and performance standards. Our 24/7 National Service centre is available to respond to staff queries, escalations and engagement on our clients’ behalf – further freeing up their teams’ time.
Working with over 50 NHS Trusts, we are at the heart of MSP delivery throughout England, supporting staffing levels and, ultimately, patient care.
