Putting people in places to care NHS Professionals is the leading provider of a flexible workforce to the NHS. Unlike privately owned staffing agencies, NHS Professionals is a managed service provider, wholly owned by the Secretary of State for Health, so all profits are reinvested in growth to save money for the NHS. NHS Professionals boasts the largest database of more than 130,000 general and specialist nurses, doctors, midwives, administrative and other healthcare professionals registered with our bank. They provide essential shift cover for our NHS clients to help them deliver safe, efficient and effective health services. Working in partnership with 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.

We work with doctors, physician associates (PAs), anaesthesia associates (AAs), those they care for and other stakeholders to support good, safe patient care across the UK.

The British Medical Association is the doctors’ professional organisation established to look after the professional and personal needs of our members. The BMA represents doctors and medical students in all branches of medicine all over the UK. It is a voluntary association with over two-thirds of practising UK doctors in membership and an independent trade union dedicated to protecting individual members and the collective interests of doctors. It is the voice for doctors and medical students – in constant contact with ministers, government departments, members of the UK, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland administrations and many other influential bodies. We are committed to keeping members in touch with the profession’s collective views and policies and to being at the forefront of healthcare development. It promotes the medical and allied sciences, seeks to maintain the honour and interests of the medical profession and promotes the achievement of high quality healthcare. Its policies cover public health issues, medical ethics, science, the state of the NHS, medical education and doctors’ contracts. Policies are decided by elected members, mainly practising doctors and supported by a professional staff who work with other bodies to meet its objectives.
