Responsive medical recruitment
The right doctor, when and where you need them
Medical staffing rarely comes with the luxury of time. An unfilled role can put pressure on existing teams, disrupt service delivery and make it harder to give patients the care they need.
TP Recruitment gives healthcare organisations access to a broad network of high-calibre doctors, from dependable cover for general requirements to consultant-level candidates for highly specialist roles. We take time to understand what is creating the pressure, then work with you on the solution that makes sense now and in the longer term.
20+ years
Combined healthcare recruitment experience
A personal, senior-led service focused on the wider staffing pressure — not simply a vacancy.
Who we support
Medical recruitment built around your organisation
We support different healthcare settings, each with its own pressures, priorities and ways of working.
NHS organisations
Responsive access to GMC-registered doctors across all grades and specialties, whether you need urgent rota cover, additional capacity or support with an ongoing recruitment challenge.
Private healthcare providers
Responsive access to GMC-registered doctors across all grades and specialties, whether you need urgent rota cover, additional capacity or support with an ongoing recruitment challenge.
Clinical insourcing businesses
Flexible access to doctors for planned insourcing programmes and service delivery, including specialist and higher-volume requirements where pace, suitability and dependable communication matter.
Where TP Recruitment comes into its own
Have a role nobody else seems able to fill?
This is where TP Recruitment comes into its own. Our network and recruitment experience help us reach consultant-level and specialist doctors who may not be found through the usual channels.
Tell us what has made the role difficult to fill, what the service needs and where previous searches have fallen short. We will give you a clear view of the market and take a focused approach to finding the right people, while keeping you informed throughout the search.
Our solutions
Support for today and the longer term
Locum cover
Flexible medical staffing for urgent gaps, planned cover and changing service demand, with candidates matched to the role rather than simply sent because they are available.
Permanent recruitment
Focused searches for permanent doctors, including specialist and consultant-level appointments where the right long-term fit matters.
Workforce and insourcing support
A more joined-up approach for organisations facing repeat vacancies, capacity challenges or planned insourcing requirements. We work with you to understand the pressure points and agree a practical recruitment plan.
Private healthcare
Specialist recruitment for private healthcare
Private healthcare providers need more than a list of available names. You need doctors with the right clinical background, professionalism and fit for the service you are delivering.
TP Recruitment works with private hospitals, clinics and specialist healthcare businesses to source high-calibre doctors across a wide range of specialties. Our particular strength in niche and consultant-level recruitment means we can also help when a role requires expertise that is difficult to find.
How it works

Tell us what is creating the pressure
We start with the role, but we also want to understand the wider challenge, timescale, team and service requirement.
We search and qualify
We use our network and market knowledge to identify suitable GMC-registered doctors and assess their fit against the agreed brief.
We keep the process moving
You receive clear updates and responsive communication as we coordinate the recruitment process and next steps.
We stay involved
