The REC Healthcare Sector Group provides specialist support and advice to agencies who work in the Healthcare sector. Members who belong to the REC Social Workers, Medical or Nursing and Social Care group will be eligible to join REC Healthcare.
We are working hard to forge links across industry and government, making REC Healthcare the recognised voice of Healthcare recruiters in the UK.
The REC represents the industry on the NHS Employers National Agency and Temporary Staffing Strategic Forum and the Department of Health's National Procurement Council.
With the NHS Commissioning Board set to go live on 1 April 2013, innovative approaches to resourcing and management are set to be the order of the day. However, in this period of transformation it is important that the people who make the NHS work – its staff – are not ignored.
REC Healthcare has written to Health Services Minister Daniel Poulter to seek clarification about the legitimacy of value added tax (VAT) schemes designed to reduce spend on agency staff within the National Health Service (NHS).
The next REC Healthcare meeting will look at the challenges facing the NHS and how flexibility and innovation offer a way forward for the NHS to maintain safe staffing levels and improve the provision of care in difficult times.
