One GP surgery approached us facing rising locum costs and unclear margins. Within three months, we helped them save £4,500. There was no reduction in hours, no loss in service quality, and no disruption to the day-to-day running of the practice.
This is not just about cutting costs. It is about smarter, more transparent recruitment that supports clinical teams and protects patient care.
What We Did
- Carried out a detailed, side-by-side cost comparison with their existing provider
- Replaced complex fee structures with clear, flat pricing
- Provided support from a consultant with years of experience in Primary Care operations
The Results
- £4,500 saved in just 90 days
- £10 per hour saved on full-time locums
- Improved continuity and better clinical fit
- Less admin and fewer rota gaps
Why It Matters
This is not a one-off case. We work with practices across the UK to identify where value is being lost and how to improve it. With the right partner, you do not need to compromise on quality to make a saving.
At Vela, we specialise in Primary Care recruitment. From GPs and ANPs to pharmacists and paramedics, we provide locum and permanent clinicians who are fully vetted, fully supported and placed with long-term outcomes in mind.
Our consultants are experienced. Our processes are efficient. Our fee structure is transparent from the start.
From Insight to Impact
Our work with this practice is just one example of how clear data, honest advice and sector knowledge can deliver real, measurable results.
If you are unsure whether your current recruitment setup is giving you the value it should, we are happy to run the numbers for you.
