Compliance

COMPLIANCE

Compliance in the UK healthcare system has never been more important and is vital that all training, qualifications and inoculations are up to date and completed before you start work with Repaso healthcare. Repaso healthcare is dedicated to high standards and is a Crown Commercial Service approved agency with a place on the medical staffing framework and London Procurement Programme (LPP), this also incorporates the East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub and the North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative.
The compliance system ensures that medical and care staff can only be selected for work once they have each completed a detailed registration process. All relevant, employment, training, DBS checks and references are confirmed by the agency, and the staff work record is checked again for each assignment. Without this validation the candidate is unable to work for us.
We adhere to stringent compliance rules. Each of our nurses goes through rigorous compliance screening prior to placement.
This process includes a face to face interview during which all relevant documentation is verified by a qualified nurse and we have a professional compliance team who work with Repaso healthcare candidates and clients on a daily basis. For nurses who are unable to meet with us in our Repaso healthcare branches we have a road based compliance team and our roamers are able to meet you near to your work or home at flexible times. We also have a digital upload facility for documentation to be sent and handled securely.
Our compliance team will help you to ensure your documentation is not only in order but also up to date.
