Medicco Healthcare Limited

What Medicco Healthcare Limited does

Medicco Healthcare Limited is a London-based healthcare recruitment agency incorporated in October 2021 by Sharud Daula. The company supplies temporary and permanent healthcare professionals — including nurses, doctors, healthcare assistants, paramedics, and allied medical professionals — to NHS trusts, private hospitals, nursing and residential homes, mental health facilities, AHP/HSS providers, specialty schools, and community care settings across the United Kingdom. The agency operates as an off-framework provider with nationwide coverage, 24/7/365 availability, and dedicated account management, competing against larger incumbents such as Hays, Reed, and NHS Professionals.

The company's technology stack consists of the Medicco Medics mobile application (available on Google Play and Apple Store) and a web-based My Portal (Staff Portal), both of which allow candidates to manage availability, search shifts, receive alerts, upload timesheets and compliance documents, and access a 24/7 support line. The technology is functional rather than differentiated: shift search, calendar sync, document upload, and earnings calculation represent standard recruiter-tooling features with no disclosed AI/ML components. The underlying site uses Google Analytics (via Snowplow) and Google Web Fonts, with vcita integration for online scheduling — no proprietary algorithms, data flywheels, or model-driven matching are evidenced.

Medicco's business model combines two revenue streams: (1) hourly billings for temporary and contract placements, with rates ranging from £18/hour for a General HCA to £102/hour for an Advanced Nurse Practitioner on bank holidays; and (2) placement fees for permanent positions, typically structured as a percentage of annual salary (permanent Registered Nurses advertised at £31,000–£40,000). Customer segments span public (NHS) and private healthcare buyers, accessed via direct sales, procurement frameworks (YPO, HealthTrust Europe), and industry memberships (FSB, Recruitment Network, Memberwise). The agency operates with approximately 9 employees and a director-heavy management team including CEO, Business Director, Commercial Director, CFO, HR Director, Operations Director, Head of Operations and Compliance, and Head of Audits, indicating an organisation still in build-out rather than at scale.
