UK based Pharmacy Locum and Recruitment Consultants

Established in 1992, Nightingale Pharmacy Services (NPS) set about introducing a robust and auditable booking system for locum pharmacists at a time when fax machines were the main instant information means, and mobile phones were the future – 1984 Motorola Dynatac 8000xhttps://www.mobilephonemuseum.com/phone-detail/dynatac-8000x was the first commercially available mobile phone (Costing $3995 or if you were in the UK at that time, £3054.63). How did the world get by?

Fast forward to today and the world is still turning. We’re still connecting healthcare professionals (not just locum pharmacists) and service providers together for mutual benefit. The fax machines are now in museums though (just as the Motorola Dynatec 8000x is!)

With all our experience we can help you achieve your goals. We know how to match people to jobs effectively. DBS checks. New UK changes to DBS (England) requirements mean registered healthcare professionals and those working with vulnerable elderly and children will need to have DBS check no later than 31st March 2026, with their certificate issued in the previous 3 years. More on this to follow soon.

Register today and get yourself moving – with your details provided we can quickly match you to available vacancies. As soon as we receive your details we can create you profile ready to get you noticed. We’ll do our bit, you just need to do yours. Get on board now! We’re waiting for you.
