Traditional insourcing is designed to top up ongoing NHS activity with stand-alone services typically delivered outside normal working hours (e.g. at weekends).
At Medacs Healthcare, our approach is much more NHS-integrated, with support available during the week and at weekends, across the entire clinical pathway.
With extra staff and support embedded into day-to-day services, we can help our partners to tackle more complex procedures and drive increased activity across all interlinked areas, 7 days a week.
The NHS can depend on insourcing providers with strong staffing backgrounds like Medacs to draft in extra clinical staff, even at the very last minute. Insourcing providers also have the ability to offer bespoke bonus schemes to incentivise a wider pool of workers. Medacs has an unrivalled bank of specialist surgical workers and can quickly backfill with reserve staff when unexpected absences occur.
Satisfaction levels among patients treated by insourcing teams are extremely positive. Research shows that in a familiar setting, such as their local hospital, patients are less anxious, less likely to cancel their appointment and more likely to accept the care and treatment advice given. Many patients also prefer the convenience of weekend or evening appointments.
Insourcing providers have a continual focus on identifying working efficiencies to maximise value for the NHS. When substantive staff are involved in insourcing projects, more efficient working practices quickly become embedded as standard. This has a knock-on benefit for wider service delivery, supporting NHS teams to improve productivity and workforce planning.
Traditional insourcing providers tend to bring in their own external teams. This can work for low-risk services but is not appropriate for more specialist surgical procedures. Medacs insourcing service is designed to safely tackle complex surgical work that others can’t. Watch this explainer video to learn more.
