Across the NHS, healthcare staffing leaders are looking at how to manage workforce more effectively, adopting flexibility and easily implemented technology solutions to address the wide range of ever-changing requirements.
Created to respond this need, the NHS Professionals National Bank™ is an agency alternative offering that fills the gap between a Trusts' own staff bank provision and the use of external agencies, providing an integrated, cost-effective solution to the NHS’ temporary staffing requirements and greater access to talent.
NHS Professionals National Bank has been developed to maximise the opportunity for NHS Trusts to access more healthcare professionals that wish to support the NHS and patient care. The service is not a traditional managed service - it is a cost-effective alternative to external agencies that is deployed through seamless integration with your existing rostering technology and acts as an extension to your existing internal staff bank solution. This service is aligned to NHS workforce initiatives and to the NHS Long Term People Plan.
The NHS Professionals National Bank will initially help supply nursing and midwifery workers to member Trusts, before rolling out to additional staff groups.
As the leading provider of flexible workers to the NHS, NHS Professionals has the experience and knowledge to deliver this innovative service, continuing our mission to help NHS Trusts reduce external agency spend and create a continuity of care for patients. NHS Professionals is uniquely owned by the Department of Health and Social Care keeping any staffing spend within the system.
Since launching in June 2021, we have partnered with the below Trusts.
We continue to work with new NHS Trusts in-line with the expansion of the service.
