Aiding with NHS overseas doctor recruitment and retention
Everyone is aware of the strain the NHS is under on a daily basis due to staff shortages.
The constant fight to balance staffing levels against financial constraints, while maintaining the highest standards of patient care, is not a new problem. With a shortfall of almost 17,000 doctors, situations such as an ever-ageing population, Brexit, and increased patient expectations have worsened the demands on the existing workforce. Adding to the issue, there are more than 40,000 doctors on the GMC license to practise list who are above 55 years of age.
The NHS is of course not being idle in trying to find solutions to these problems. The increased difficulty in recruiting doctors both locally and from abroad has, however, led to more dependence on expensive temporary locum solutions, via companies that don't necessarily possess the requisite expertise to provide more permanent, cost-effective staffing solutions.
Doc2uk is striving to be at the forefront of leading-edge solutions to staffing issues in the NHS. Their innovative digital platform has been carefully designed to cater to the specific needs of NHS hospitals and provide the most effective candidate procurement process possible. In the first six months since launch over 1.8 million doctors have viewed their platform, over 1200 have registered with it, and more are coming through all the time.
The team at doc2uk are predominantly NHS clinicians with more than 50 years of combined experience. They focus on recruitment from India, with plans to expand further globally in the future. Their expert team based across India has been carefully curating and vetting the candidates on the database. All candidates are fully validated and assisted in reaching the necessary standards required to practice medicine in the UK before clients can view them for consideration.
At Doc2uk, the ethos is simple. Drawing upon decades of combined expertise as both doctors and recruiters they recognise the importance of working closely with the NHS to provide suitable, long-term solutions to crippling staff shortages. This approach enables them to help clients target their problem areas, while also ensuring a smooth transition into work and society for successful candidates. Hopefully, this maximises the recruitment and retention of staff to the NHS.
