With NHS patient waiting times at an all–time high, trusts across the country are under increasing pressure to deliver timely, high–quality care at scale.

To not only manage this demand, but to actively reduce the growing backlog, the NHS must adopt new, more flexible models of care delivery. This is where TPG Insourcing plays a vital role.

In line with its ongoing commitment to supporting the NHS, The Placement Group has introduced TPG Insourcing, a dedicated service designed to offer innovative, on–site clinical solutions, built on the foundation of over 30 years’ experience in delivering high–quality temporary staffing through its established brands.

Created to address rising clinical pressures, TPG Insourcing delivers fully managed, consultant–led teams who work on–site, using NHS facilities during evenings and weekends to maximise capacity and minimise disruption.

Through trusted brands such as Mediplacements, The Placement Group has long supplied highly skilled healthcare professionals to NHS trusts. Now, through TPG Insourcing, that expertise extends even further, offering a full–service clinical delivery model that helps trusts boost capacity, reduce waiting times, and improve patient flow from within.

Across the NHS, the pressure to deliver timely, high–quality care has never been greater. Rising patient numbers, national backlog targets, and stretched in–house teams have created a perfect storm, and trusts are looking for smart, reliable ways to respond.
That’s where TPG Insourcing comes in.

As part of The Placement Group, we’ve spent decades supporting the NHS through expert staffing. TPG Insourcing is the next step in that journey, designed to give trusts immediate, on–site support from fully managed clinical teams. Our goal? To ease the burden, reduce waiting lists, and help trusts deliver outstanding care, without compromise.

So, What Exactly Is Insourcing?

Put simply, insourcing allows NHS trusts to bring in external clinical teams, but keep everything in–house whilst still retaining clinical oversight and capacity planning controls. Care is delivered on–site, using the trust’s existing facilities and equipment, often during evenings or weekends when theatres or clinics would otherwise sit unused.

Unlike outsourcing, where patients might be sent off–site or into private settings, insourcing keeps control, quality, and consistency where they belong: within the NHS.

Why Insourcing?

Whether a trust is battling a winter backlog, working to hit RTT targets, or managing staffing gaps, insourcing can provide a rapid, effective boost to clinical capacity.

It’s a practical model with clear benefits:

• Faster treatment times for patients waiting on diagnostics, surgery or outpatient care
• Better use of NHS infrastructure, especially during off–peak hours
• No disruption to continuity – patients stay within familiar systems and pathways
• Support for existing teams, easing pressure on permanent staff

And when it’s done right, it makes a real difference.
