Compliance and quality

Safe clinicians, checked before they start

In private healthcare, patient safety depends on the checks made before a clinician arrives. Our process is documented, repeatable and reviewed regularly, and we are always willing to share the evidence.

Our pre-placement checks

What we verify for every clinician

  • Professional registration

    We confirm each clinician is on the relevant regulator register (GMC, NMC or GPhC, as applicable) and that their registration is current and unrestricted before we present them.

  • Indemnity and insurance

    Professional indemnity or medical defence cover is confirmed and kept on file, and we check it is valid for the work being offered.

  • DBS and safeguarding

    Enhanced DBS checks with the relevant barred list checks are completed, and safeguarding training is confirmed before a start date.

  • Right to work

    We verify right-to-work status against the original documents, and keep a dated record of the check for every placement.

  • References and qualifications

    Two professional references are obtained and qualifications are verified. Gaps in employment are explored in interview, not overlooked.

  • Ongoing oversight

    We ask about incidents, feedback and training needs after placements, and we act on concerns raised by clients or clinicians.
