ProMedical

What ProMedical does

ProMedical Personnel Ltd is a UK-headquartered healthcare workforce solutions company founded in 2007 and based in Brentwood, Essex. The company supplies qualified doctors, nurses, care staff and allied health professionals to NHS Trusts, Integrated Care Systems and Boards (ICS/ICBs), independent healthcare providers, primary care, local authority health services, community and social care, health and justice services, and central government bodies across the UK and Northern Ireland. ProMedical operates as a multi-service healthcare platform built around six offerings: temporary and permanent healthcare staffing (the core revenue line), clinical insourcing, neurodevelopmental diagnostics (ASD/ADHD), medico-legal reporting, event medical services, and workforce redesign consultancy. The company holds awarded-supplier status on the NHS Workforce Alliance Clinical & Healthcare Staffing Framework (RM6281) and HealthTrust Europe Total Workforce Solutions III (TWS III) and Clinical Insourcing Solutions frameworks, which serve as the primary access channel to public sector clients.

The technology base is a digital onboarding, compliance management, payroll, and document workflow platform with electronic signatures and secure online candidate interfaces, designed to reduce paper processing and accelerate worker registration — it is workflow automation rather than an AI/ML product. The platform underpins GMC Designated Body status, enabling the company to support doctors with revalidation and appraisal. Revenue is generated through usage-based staffing fees, managed-service contracts for clinical insourcing, and professional-services fees for consultancy, diagnostics, medico-legal reporting, and event medical work; pricing is negotiated and quote-based and is not publicly disclosed. ProMedical is privately held with no disclosed institutional or PE ownership, is led by founder-CEO Altin Biba and co-founder/Operations Director Jason D. Kalaja, and operates with 101-250 employees.
