What is Insourcing?

As a clinical expert, you’ll join a specialist team of 18 Week Support clinicians doing some of the most in-demand NHS work.

Insourcing teams use empty rooms in NHS Hospitals to see patients outside of regular clinical hours (like on weekends).

The work is highly flexible - you can choose when, where and how much you work, there’s 100% no commitment.

From IT to admin support to working with experienced nurses in charge, we understand how to make your lives easier. We’ll support you so you can focus on what really matters; doing the work you love and treating patients.

With excellent daily rates, flexibility and support, what are you waiting for?

The Clinician

Insourcing lets you maximise your earning potential and widen your experience within a comfortable and familiar setting. Best of all, you can do it all on your terms.

The NHS Trust

With ambitious targets and limited resources, NHS trusts are up against it. We should know: we’re partnered with over 80 of them. Insourcing helps Trusts’ goals far more achievable.

The Patient

Insourcing is transforming the lives of patients. By reducing waiting lists, you’ll be directly contributing to a better NHS: one that prioritises quality of care above all else.

Take control of when and where you work

By insourcing with 18 Week Support, you’ll get the flexibility and earning power of a locum role with the stability and familiarity of working as part of a team in the NHS.

Choose where you’re placed

Plenty of clinicians love the idea of taking on extra shifts, but worry about being dropped in an unfamiliar environment

We believe you’ll do your best work when you’re in a setting you know, so we let you choose exactly where you want to work.

It means you don’t have to worry about stuff like where to park, who to talk to, or how to make sense of the IT system. Instead, you’re free to focus fully on delivering the best possible care to your patients.

We’re proud to have worked with over 80 NHS Trusts across the country

Insourcing patients are happier patients

By reducing NHS waiting times, insourcing patients are happier than ever. And we’ve got the data to prove it:

99.9%

The number of our patients who rate their experience as either Good or Very Good.

99.9%

The number of our patients who would recommend 18 Week Support.

These numbers aren’t a happy accident. Our clinical leads are world-renowned and actively involved in the governance of each speciality. Additionally, each speciality has highly experienced lead nurses who provide support and ensure that the patient’s interests are always prioritised.

It’s simple: insourcing with 18 Week Support is the best way to improve the lives of the patients who need it most.

Don't take just our word for it

“18WS is not an agency. You can choose when and where you work. You’re not sent to a hospital alone but as part of a team. I’ve definitely grown as a healthcare professional being part of the 18WS team.”

Vitor Gomez - Lead Nurse, Surgery

“I was really sceptical about working for a private insourcing company at first, having not always had the best experiences with AQPs previously, but 18 Week Support was different. They support the NHS teams to provide a better service and keep the patient at the heart of everything they do.”

Elizabeth Parrish, Lead Nurse for Dermatology
