MC — Thu, 16 Jun 2022 11:09:51 +0000

The team at Bluestones Medical, our healthcare recruitment specialist business, have aced their latest Workforce Alliance audit securing the highest possible rating.

The Bluestones Medical compliance team are committed to ensuring all compliance requirements are met, and that every candidate they work with is fully compliant and fit for practice.

As the team say,

Compliance isn’t glamorous, but it’s necessary to ensure patient and staff safety, therefore we take it very seriously.

The NHS Workforce Alliance portfolio of frameworks cover clinical agency staffing, staff bank, international recruitment, non-clinical staffing, IT, workforce support, and improvement services. To give an idea of the scope covered by the alliance, in 2020/21, it supported £1.3 billion of agency, bank and international recruitment spend, and helped the NHS save over £10 million.

Bluestones Medical is an approved on-framework supplier to the NHS Workforce Alliance framework, All Wales framework and Health Trust Europe, and along with Bluestones Medical Complex Care provide a comprehensive range of services in the Group’s Healthcare division.

Bluestones Medical launches new website

admin — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 10:45:20 +0000

Bluestones Medical has launched its new website, following extensive research and exploring potential options.

We’ve refined our online platform to make life even easier for our healthcare partners to register, find new roles and submit applications through a simplified interface.

The simple fact is that these days everyone seems to want to cram so much in to a recruitment website that they often forget their primary purpose… that is, to display the jobs the agency is recruiting for and make it easier for candidates to find them, register their details and confirm their availability. So to an extent, we’ve gone back to basics and focused on the things our clients and candidates have told us they appreciate most.

We’re constantly looking to improve our service, so if you do have any feedback on the website then please let us know.

PRN People rebrands to Bluestones Medical Nursing

admin — Fri, 21 Oct 2016 12:05:55 +0000

PRN People has enjoyed significant growth over the previous 3 years, working with dedicated nurses, RMNs and HCAs. As from the 1st November, PRN People will be re-branding and will be known as Bluestones Medical Nursing.

Bluestones Medical is an existing nursing agency and is a sister company of PRN People – and both companies operate within an investment company called The Bluestones Group.

Bluestones Medical is a specialist agency supplier for Theatres only. They supply skilled and experienced nurses for Scrub, Anaesthetics and Recovery, as well as ODPs and theatre experienced HCAs into the NHS and Private sector.

The move sees the creation of a bigger, stronger nursing agency, which will give us greater power when engaging with new hospitals and trust and allow us to healthily compete with large, more well-known agencies in the market.

We envisage that this will offer nurses a better choice of future shifts, across more geographical regions and across more specialisms and generally create more working opportunities for our dedicated workforce.
