Take back control of your DE processes

Many trusts lose significant revenue from missed opportunities in their Direct Engagement processes, not having a Managed Services supply chain or long term permanent recruitment strategy.

With the Agency Reduction Programme, we help ensure you’re realising the full benefits, leading to maximised savings.

And our focus isn’t just on the short term; we help you build for the future.

Rate and unit cost reductions for tangible savings

Unnoticed excessive charges and varying rates from different departments can quickly add up. By providing a comprehensive analysis of your trust’s agency spend, we can identify and rectify these inefficiencies.

Another approach for reducing rates and unit costs is through the eradication of off-Framework reliance. This is made possible through ID Medical’s approval with all major Frameworks.

Our market insight also allows us to adapt to seasonal demands, ensuring you always get the best value.
