Healthcare Recruitment professionals for prison, police and welfare government authorities, homecare workers for local authorities and even teletriage operators for pioneering telehealth programmes in Australasia. How exactly does the service you offer differ from traditional recruitment agencies?

Medacs Healthcare offers a much broader 360o approach to staffing services. As the largest and fastest-growing provider of managed service contracts to the NHS (managing £200m of annual staffing spend), we’ve developed a key understanding of how the entire recruitment process can be streamlined and changed the face of UK healthcare services with a new, improved model. In the Asia Pacific and EMEA regions, our expertise on the managed services side is proving to be an important differentiator for clients, significantly enhancing our core recruitment services. One of the key benefits of working with us is the end-to-end service we provide. Our recruiters are experts with intimate knowledge of their markets and talent pools, trained to value quality over quantity and ensure that potential candidates are properly vetted before they are presented to clients. Medacs’ also prides itself upon an exemplary reputation for both compliance and aftercare. 92 per cent of the overseas nurses we recruit into the NHS are retained in permanent roles (compared to the industry average of approximately 50 per cent). Finally I believe our sizeable global database of over 200,000 healthcare candidates gives us a significant advantage. We have aligned our systems to match the global migration of medical professionals and we use a CRM system which

facilitates the worldwide movement of candidates and allows us to operate as a truly international recruitment agency. Our systems are also well aligned with social media channels, which are already playing a huge part in current candidate attraction methods and set to become increasingly important in the future of global recruitment. What is your current involvement in the Middle East?

At present, we provide recruitment services across all Middle East regions including the UAE, Saudi, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait. Our team is led by senior professionals with specialist experience in the region and this year we have taken on a number of new and exciting clients, with a recent campaign for a new client in Abu Dhabi attracting over 2,000 applicants in less than two months! The most exciting development in our expansion is a new corporate partnership with the Emirates Hospitals Association, a not-for-profit body set up to positively contribute to the improvement of healthcare services and patient outcomes in the UAE. Medacs will be working closely with the EHA and its member hospitals to develop a consistent approach to best practice right across the region, and ease common HR and recruitment issues faced by many care institutions. Right now we’re discussing some interesting ideas in the leadingedge field of telemedicine services, and looking at how we can expand the revalidation services we offer in the UK to encompass overseas healthcare professionals working within the Gulf. 2016 will see us establish a much stronger presence in the UAE in particular, meeting with new and existing clients and key industry stakeholders, attending major events such as Arab Health and opening a local office. With the next five years set for massive population growth - and the arrival of Expo2020 in Dubai, it is a very exciting time for the UAE and we’re proud to be involved in shaping the future provision of healthcare services and technologies in the region.
