Primary Care Recruitment

Lisa Boardman, Business Partner, Craven Road Practice, Leeds

Craven road is a busy 3 site practice with a total of over 15,000 patients. After losing our Advanced Nurse Practitioner of 10 years’ we wanted to replace her with a strong ANP. We initially advertised for the post but the results were relatively weak. Prospect understood what we were looking for in a new member of staff and we interviewed candidate that met our criteria who then accepted the post who has now been here 7 months and has fitted into the team. A few months later after struggling to recruit a GP through the usual channels we asked Prospect to source another ANP. We interviewed a few candidates and again made an appointment. We would recommend using their services to other practices

Andrew Thomas-Pam Business Partner & Practice Manager, Dr Lawton & Partners

Dr Lawton & Partners are a large busy practice based in the South East, circa 16,500 patients. In recent times of change and austerity within the NHS we have found GP recruitment very challenging, advertising through the usual GP recruitment channels and other recruitment agencies all to no avail. Happily that all changed when Prospect Health made contact.

Within a very short space of time and ensuring they fully understood our exacting requirements they had sent us a candidate that met our needs, after a successful interview process the candidate was offered the position and duly accepted.

We would definitely recommend using Prospect Health to other GP practices and will certainly be using them again.

Rod Marshall Practice Manager, Parkside Medical Centre – Bletchley

For nine months Parkside Medical Centre were trying, unsuccessfully, to recruit a new GP Partner using all the usual advertising channels. With such a challenging recruitment market we eventually looked to Prospect Health to assist us in our search. After spending some time ascertaining our exact requirements Prospect Health were able to send us a number of high calibre candidate CVs and we were quickly able to arrange interviews and make an appointment. The whole process took just a matter of a few weeks. We are delighted with our new partner and would have no hesitation in recommending Prospect Health to other GP practices. In fact, we have used them to recruit a Nurse Prescriber and will certainly be using their services again in the future.

Alan Morton Practice Manager, Alexandra Group Practice, Oldham

I found Prospect Health to be very helpful and professional in their dealings with us, keeping me informed on a regular basis as to where we were up to and still contacting me after we had appointed to check that the ANPs were ok and what we wanted. They found and recruited 2 excellent ANPs for us.

Gill Warburton, Practice Manager, Egerton & Dunscar Health Centre

I found Prospect Health to be very efficient, thorough and professional. They found me 3 excellent candidates for our salaried GP post within a week of contacting him. They listened carefully to all the information about the practice that I gave them at the start of the process and made detailed notes and it transpired that they had accurately passed this information onto the candidates. They were very organised and sent me all the necessary paperwork including tips for getting the most out of the interview process. They were quick to contact the GPs and always kept to any time promises that he made. The GP who we chose is excellent and we are very pleased that we chose to use Prospect Health, particularly after having had a bad experience with an alternative recruitment agency.

Harriet Marshall Regional Manager, McLaren Perry Ltd

Our company employed the services of Prospect Health to assist us with the recruitment of salaried General Practitioners; we received excellent and friendly service throughout, which was professional and efficient.
Our requirements were specific and James managed to find us many great candidates who fitted our brief perfectly, he was conscientious and flexible and assisted with the organisation of interviews and meetings throughout the recruitment process.

We are very pleased with our newly recruited doctors.

We would not hesitate to contact Prospect Health in the future to address our recruitment needs.

Karen Gill, Operations Director, CV Health, High Wycombe

Prospect Health were quick to respond to our request for recruitment help. They worked hard to find suitable GP candidates and provided useful recruitment process support.

Phil Abbott, Business Partner, Seaford Medical Practice, East Sussex

Seaford Medical Practice is a large GP Practice in East Sussex, with approx 17,800 patients. In Spring 2015 we were looking to recruit a salaried GP to work with our existing team of GPs. Recruitment efforts via the traditional advertising route attracted little response. We, therefore, engaged the services of Prospect Health to help in our search. Within six weeks Prospect Health had sourced several potential GPs for interview and from those candidates we have now appointed an excellent GP. Prospect Health worked closely with us as a Practice during that period and provided helpful support and guidance throughout the recruitment process to bring it to a successful conclusion. Whilst it was a new experience for us paying a recruitment fee, we are delighted with our appointment.

Dr Anandakumar, GP Partner, Coseley Medical Centre

We were in need of an experienced Practice Manager, to be appointed quickly, to replace a Practice Manager who retired. I turned to Prospect Heath for help.
Prospect Heath was able to send details of high calibre Practice Managers. I was able to appoint the right manager for my practice and I received very good advice and guidance throughout the process. They saved me a lot of time and effort to find the appropriate person. I can certainly recommend Prospect Health to anyone who requires a healthcare professional.

Dr Jeremy Meadows, GP Partner, Chessel Practice, Southampton

At Chessel Practice we have found Prospect Health’s recruitment services very effective and efficient, against a backdrop of a very difficult recruitment environment. They have found for us two very good doctors who have integrated well into our team, and have done so with courteous attention and minimal fuss.

DR B N KULKARNI, Trinity Medical Centre

After some months of trying to recruit to our vacant post we looked at alternative ways of recruiting. Having reviewed other organisations we decided to ask Prospect Health to assist us.
After some lengthy discussions to fully understand our requirements Prospect Health were very quickly able to send us details of high calibre candidates and interviews were arranged within a few weeks.

We are delighted with our new GP and the service offered by Prospect Health. They were extremely professional and approachable and the whole process was pain free and smoothly managed. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to other surgeries and we will certainly be using them again in the future.

Julie Shaw – Practice Manager Castlefields Health Centre

Castlefields Health Centre have used the services of Prospect Health twice in under one year. We cannot fault them in any way at all. They are incredibly professional, reliable and provide careful and considered assistance every step of the way. They most certainly take the hard work and anguish out of finding a new GP and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who may be trying (and failing) to recruit a new clinician

Denise Hallett, Practice Manager Dawley Medical Practice

We used Prospect Health when looking for a salaried GP to Partner and had exhausted lots of other avenues without success.  David from Prospect was proactive from the start, keeping in touch, taking the time to find out what kind of person the Practice was looking for and what, as a Practice, were our core values.  Candidates were selected specifically for us and we only had to interview 2 before making an offer.  The whole process from Prospect Health coming on board to job offer acceptance was a matter of just a couple of weeks.  I’ve used Agencies before and would definitely recommend and use Prospect Health again.  They made the whole process simple and successful.

I am delighted to share my experience working with David Colley, Specialist Recruitment Consultant at Prospect Health. From the moment we engaged with David, his professionalism and extensive knowledge in recruitment were evident. He took the time to understand our specific needs at East London NHS Foundation Trust and was incredibly proactive in sourcing the right candidates for our GP practices in London and Bedfordshire.

He made the entire recruitment journey effortless, helping us secure several talented Salaried GPs for our practices in London and Bedfordshire who are already making a positive impact in our practices.

I wholeheartedly recommend David’s services to anyone looking to enhance their recruitment process. His expertise and commitment to excellence make him a standout in his field!
