Britannia Healthcare offers greater cost reduction and value compared to all other suppliers of clinical staff to the NHS

Our Services

Contract Staffing:  We recruit and employ qualified Filipino nurses who we subcontract to NHS trusts (for 6 – 24 months).  This solution is typically 20% – 60% lower cost compared with agency rates.

Agency Staffing:  We are an approved supplier of agency staff to the LPP’s National Clinical Staffing Framework.

Permanent Recruitment:  Our international recruitment solution is a straight forward placement which we are able to execute at between 35 % – 60% lower cost than our competitors.  We also have contracts with the NHS for the supply of ‘domestic/national’ clinical staff.

Cost Savings Comparison

Colin Pettifer, Managing Director, britannia Healthcare said “we are able to achieve these levels of cost reduction in part via our ownership of a healthcare focused recruitment agency in the Philippines.  This ‘economy of scale’ enables us to charge much lower rates whilst still providing a high standard of UK support and management”.

Britannia Healthcare has been awarded a place on the new National Clinical Staffing Framework for the NHS.

Being awarded a place on Lot 1 and 2 of the National Clinical Staffing Framework, developed for the NHS by the NHS Collaborative Procurement Partnership, means that Britannia Healthcare can supply temporary, permanent staff and fixed term staff to clinical positions in the NHS.

Britannia Healthcare successfully underwent an independent audit of our services and met the criteria for providing qualified clinical staff who can give high quality patient care at rates within the pay caps set by the government. These pay caps have been introduced to help the NHS control spiralling agency staffing costs.

Colin Pettifer, MD and founder of Britannia 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.”
