Raising the Standards for Rapid Staffing in Critical Moments.

Trusted Before We Arrive.
Allied Health Professionals Workforce Solutions.
Trusted AHPs with the expertise to deliver quality care.
Experienced AHPs across all care settings.
Across Ireland, we provide fully compliant, highly skilled AHPs for urgent shifts, block bookings, and specialist cover. We support hospitals, community services, rehabilitation units, specialist centres, and private practices — focusing on roles that are harder to fill and in locations that are more difficult to staff, including rural services.
Ready for Urgent Demand.
From last-minute physio cover on a rehab ward to emergency diagnostic support, we provide AHPs who can step in without delay.
Filling the Gaps Others Can’t.
We specialise in sourcing niche roles — from radiographers and cardiac physiologists to respiratory physiologists — where shortages are most acute.
Flexible Staffing Options.
Whether you need a single locum shift, ongoing block bookings, or senior specialists for complex services, we adapt to your requirements.
Trusted Across Disciplines.
Physiotherapy, radiography, dietetics, social work, and beyond — our AHP network is trusted to deliver in the most demanding healthcare environments.
