Why Practicus

Practicus consultants take the time to get to know you and your aims, then match people with precision. 

Practicus NHS Placements

All members of our Network have been thoroughly interviewed, referenced and background checked. What’s more, the majority of interims in the network have worked with Practicus many times, giving us absolute faith that they will deliver. 

Healthcare is complex and requires a wide range of skills and expertise, that we can deliver on an interim basis as long as needed. 

 

Technology is reshaping healthcare and innovators require leaders who can deliver disruptive and game changing technologies. To succeed in this dynamic and evolving  industry, it is essential to prioritise flexible and adaptable solutions. 

We’re passionate about building long-term relationships with our clients based on trust. That’s why we work tirelessly to understand our clients’ unique needs and goals, so we can provide tailored solutions that drive lasting success.

Workplace diversity is the lifeblood of all successful organisations and we help them find the best candidates. Our diversity report on our interim plancements supports this.

Customer Centric

From initial consultation to final hiring decision, we work closely with you to understand your company culture, values, and unique requirements to ensure that we find the best candidate for your organisation.
