About us

We run the largest NHS flexible staff bank, placing highly skilled temporary workers in NHS Trusts to meet their short, medium and long-term needs. Uniquely we are owned by the Department of Health and Social Care and we therefore reinvest any surplus we make directly back into the wider healthcare economy.

Originally formed in 2001, we now have more than 50 client Trusts and over 180,000 healthcare  professionals (Bank Members) registered with us. They work flexibly to NHS-assured standards in a wide range of roles including nurses and midwives, doctors, allied health professionals, healthcare scientists, personal social services and non-clinical.

We’re more than just nursing
Our business was founded on nursing and midwifery, but now we specialise in much more. We have a large community of healthcare professionals on our bank, comprising of more than 140,000 general and specialist nurses, doctors, midwives, non-clinical and allied healthcare professionals – all available for our partner Trusts.

We are extremely proud of our bank members, all of whom provide essential healthcare services for the NHS to help them deliver safe, efficient and effective patient care.

We employ the bank
NHS Professionals employs bank staff so that Trusts don’t have to. Behind the scenes, our specialist teams manage recruitment, HR, payroll, flexible worker benefits, education and performance management, providing clients with complete oversight on spend and shift fill.

We ensure the highest levels of clinical governance for the bank workforce across all staff groups, ensuring that our partner Trusts and their patients are always in safe hands.
