However, the speed of this depends on how quickly you can collate the required information. If you have everything to hand, your compliance can be completed within 24 hours. With a dedicated compliance team, we review and upload documents the same day we receive them to get you ready for work as quickly as possible. This process is required to safeguard you, the service users and the service in which you are working. As an approved NHS supplier, VCare Consultancy Services Ltd. abides by all framework regulations to ensure you’re fully protected while working with us.

Unlike in the NHS, a private healthcare provider’s insurance does not provide indemnity cover for their staff. Therefore, if you are working in the private sector, you will need professional indemnity insurance before you can start. Indemnity insurance is essential to safeguard you, service users and the service itself. As a result, this is a prerequisite for all private sector workers to ensure everyone is sufficiently protected.
