Hallam Medical

What Hallam Medical does

Hallam Medical Limited is a UK-based, clinically led healthcare recruitment specialist founded in 2007 by Alex Munro and headquartered in Sheffield. The company supplies temporary clinical staff — Advanced Practitioners (ANPs, ACPs, ENPs, ECPs), 111 Clinical Advisors, General Practitioners, Community Nurses and Paramedics — to NHS and private healthcare providers across urgent care, primary care, community care, emergency services and 111 pathways. It claims to operate the UK's largest bank of Advanced Practitioners, Community Specialists and 111 Clinical Advisors and positions itself as the leading Advanced Practice Healthcare Recruitment Partner in the country, with NHS Framework, HTE and JobsAware accreditations and exclusive partnerships with QICN, AAPE UK, UHUK, CNEN and the ICB Chief Nurse Network.

The technology stack is intentionally lightweight: a website job portal, an applicant registration and onboarding system, and an Online Payroll Portal through which clinicians access payslips, P60s and submit timesheets. There is no proprietary AI, no mobile application, no public API and no SDK; matching of clinicians to shifts is performed by dedicated recruitment consultants supported by compliance, revalidation, mandatory training, DBS application and Smartcard provisioning workflows. Go-to-market is B2B enterprise field sales layered with multi-channel clinician acquisition across the website, LinkedIn, an in-house podcast, conferences (UHUK, QICN, SAPHNA, DHU CARE Awards), email marketing and a WhatsApp contact line.

Hallam Medical generates revenue primarily through margin on hourly and daily rates charged to healthcare clients for temporary clinician placements (professional services), supplemented by an unlimited £250 Refer a Friend bonus paid to clinicians whose referrals complete 100 hours. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, external investor beyond the April 2014 round led by Key Capital Partners, and is led by CEO Deborah McCain alongside founder Alex Munro and COO Chris Whawell.
