“I am extremely pleased to see the Southwest Peninsula NHS Bank live. This project is the result of hard work and collaboration from various organisations across our system. We are looking to improve clinical workforce deployment, attract staff from further afield and back into the NHS and to reduce our dependency on agency use. The Southwest Peninsula NHS Bank will play a key role in supporting the delivery of the NHS People Plan strategic pillars of flexible working, improve Health & Wellbeing and staff retention. Both our NHS staff and patients are set to benefit from this collaboration initiative as it will deliver more flexibility for staff and ensure that the care for patients is available across the Southwest Peninsula.”

"As an integrated health and social care provider, joining the Southwest Peninsula NHS Bank supports our vision to deliver better joined-up care to the communities we serve. We’re really proud to be part of this collaborative initiative. It will enable us to work in new ways that are more efficient and save costs to reinvest back into the services we provide, which as a community interest company is important to us. Our staff will benefit from working more flexibly and our communities will benefit from local healthcare professionals delivering continuing care. It’s a win-win initiative for us!”

"Our aim in joining this collaborative bank with our fellow healthcare providers in the region was to increase the flexibility we can offer for clinical shifts, and provide a smooth and straightforward end to end system to book and pay staff. We can’t wait to see it up and running."

"I am thrilled to confirm that we are in a position to introduce a Collaborative Medical Bank across the South West. This exciting step provides an opportunity for streamlining of services including the booking and payment of shifts. It is an exciting venture for the organisations involved and will bring a number of benefits including flexibility and visibility for those who wish to work across a number of organisations in the region and will improve the experience for those who work for us."
Hannah Foster
Director of People
Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust
Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust
“Over the last few years, the trusts in Devon have been working together to find ways to ensure that we provide care that is safe and accessible in all parts of the county. Key to that is the filling of medical workforce gaps when and where they occur. The collaborative bank for medical staff will make that easier for everyone and it is great to see it now in operation.”
Rob Dyer
Lead Medical Director for Devon STP
"Being part of the Southwest Peninsula NHS Bank will allow us to work collaboratively in the STP offering a coordinated system across our Trusts in the provision of temporary medical staff. This will benefit our doctors by giving more visibility to opportunities across the STP, our organisations through access to a larger group of temporary non-agency workers, and to our patients by helping to provide high quality continuous care."
