You perform a crucial job running one of the UK's most vital services. But maintaining clinical standards in the face of higher demand and lower budgets is making the role more challenging. To meet performance targets and ensure the best patient outcomes, you need a highly productive, cohesive and qualified team.
Year-round coverage through full-time staff just isn't feasible – or necessary – to meet fluctuations in demand or employee abstractions (sickness, leave or training). Traditionally, once overtime and bank support have been exhausted, the only option was to hire entire private ambulance crews with vehicles (PAS).
But, there's a third way. Apply total workforce solutions through MedicNow to infill and bolster front-line crews. Why our solution is the answer to many of your problems:
- We maintain the highest clinical standards because we screen our locums through a rigorous induction process
- We support your team dynamics and productivity by only supplying qualified and experienced locums
- We can infill any role at any time and provide cover for any drop in resources or spike in demand
- We will save your trust money because our locums are more cost effective than a managed service

As a Director of Operations, you want your A&E department to be running as smoothly and efficiently as possible to limit patient waiting times. Delays created by the hand-over between ambulance crews and A&E teams are stressful on your staff and patients. Plus, delays can incur severe penalties, which impact your budget and performance records.
Naturally, with the number of attendances going up while there’s the current shortage of A&E staff, the problem is only increasing.
We provide a solution that unblocks the delays, improves hand-over times and helps you move patients out of A&E (into wards or home) promptly and efficiently.
As the UK’s leading provider of ambulance professionals, our dedicated teams provide round the clock support. Ambulance professionals are highly productive in A&E departments because they can assist with triage to assess urgency, and they can deliver on-the-spot emergency care across a range of support skills.

As a Primary Care Manager, you are juggling the competing pressures of increased patient demand at your clinic, and the need to treat more patients at home.
Medicnow has worked with a number of clinics – that are in the vanguard of primary care – to deploy Emergency Care Practitioners (ECP) to support GPs. These ECPs are highly experienced clinicians that are ideally suited to supporting patients in their homes, and within urgent primary care centres as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
Innovative clinics have also used paramedics to run the following:
- Telephone triage
- Run minor illness/injury clinics
MedicNow is the UK’s leading supplier of permanent and locum Paramedics, and our professionals are keen to use their skills to help patients in non-emergency roles –
it’s a welcome relief from non-stop, front-line service for them.

As a leader within the private ambulance community, you share many of the workforce challenges of your partners across NHS ambulance trusts.
In addition to the common challenges of recruiting and retaining a skilled workforce, new contracts often require you to deploy resources quickly. Medicnow can help you overcome all of these issues comfortably because no matter what volume or time-frame, we can coordinate and deliver staff to you quickly.
As you know, the cure for client demands constantly changing, are banks of flexible part-time staff. But the coordination of compliance-cleared staff is time consuming and expensive.
Medicnow saves you time and money by providing a bank-management service that frees you up to focus on service delivery, clinical excellence and growing your business. By helping you to utilise your bank more effectively, you will unlock extra capacity. Also, we can deploy our own locums to fill any gaps that remain.
We leverage the latest technology and industry-leading compliance processes to ensure your team is always ready, responsive and auditable at all times. Our systems support dozens of frontline organisations, and thousands of staff-hours' rostering each week.
We can provide you with a scalable and reliable service because we have a bank of over 1000 ambulance staff that we manage through our powerful, simple and secure software.
You gain two main benefits by outsourcing to us. First, you will reduce the costs of your recruitment and HR teams. Secondly, you’ll maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of your medics because they’ll always be at the right place at the right time.
