United Kingdom & Northern Ireland Healthcare

What sets PE Global Healthcare apart is our in-depth understanding of the workforce requirements and solutions unique to the healthcare industry. This knowledge is a result of the expertise and experience of our dedicated team of recruiters, who collectively possess decades of experience in the field. Our team’s fundamental experience includes working closely with major hospitals, providing us with a comprehensive grasp of the ethical standards, criteria, visa requirements, and medical qualifications specific to the UK and Northern Ireland.

In 2016, we were awarded a place on the National Clinical Staffing Framework for the NHS, a recognition of the high-quality service we offer. This framework, developed for the NHS by the NHS Collaborative Procurement Partnership, allows us to supply temporary staff to clinical positions within the NHS. Our inclusion in this framework followed a successful independent audit of our services, confirming our ability to provide qualified clinical staff capable of delivering high-quality patient care while adhering to government-mandated pay caps.  These pay caps have been introduced to help the NHS control spiralling agency staffing costs.

Keith McDonagh, MD, PE Global Healthcare said “We are delighted to have been awarded a place on the National Clinical Staffing Framework. We understand the challenges being faced by the NHS and are keen to help the NHS to provide quality patient care.”

In 2020, we were invited to join the Workforce Alliance NHS Framework, covering Nursing & Midwifery, Locum Doctors, and Social Care.  This is a 3-year contract with a possible extension of a further 12 months. This framework, created by the merger of London Procurement Partnership (LPP) and Crown Commercial Services (CSS), represents the largest valued Framework issued by the NHS to date and is the largest NHS procurement department.

 In 2024, we were awarded a place on the Health Trust Europe Framework Agreement, making PE Global Healthcare one of the select few companies authorised to supply healthcare professionals to the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. Under this agreement, we are a principal supplier of Doctors, Nurses, Midwives, Allied Health Professionals, Healthcare Support Workers Non-Clinical staff.

In the same year we made a strategic acquisition in the UK by acquiring specialist nursing placement business Trust Nurse Services Limited. This acquisition strengthens the PE Global platform presence in the UK nursing sector.

Trust Nurse Services is a specialist UK nursing recruitment agency, providing workforce solutions to National Health Trusts nationwide, on a contract and temporary basis. Predominantly sourcing temporary placements, the company recruits across all divisions of nursing, including Critical Care, A&E, Community and District, Oncology, Paediatrics, Outpatient, Midwifery and HCAs. Trust Nurse Services has forged an excellent reputation in the public sector, for successfully tendering large NHS framework agreements, in the provision of fully bespoke and tailored recruitment services for candidates and clients.

One of our key strengths lies in the global presence of our Recruitment Professionals, spanning North America, Europe, the Middle & Far East, and Australasia. This global network allows us to source healthcare professionals from around the world and stay up-to-date with legislative changes in various regions.

Our expertise has been honed through the recruitment of essential personnel for both public and private healthcare providers. We have also managed large-scale recruitment projects on behalf of leading healthcare providers across diverse specialties.
