Consultant Insourcing Hero
NHS consultant jobs offer opportunities for experienced doctors to use their specialist expertise to support patient care across the UK. For consultants seeking flexible clinical opportunities, NHS insourcing provides another way to contribute to healthcare services while helping organisations manage demand and improve patient access.
Secure Healthcare Solutions (SHS) recruits consultants across eight medical and surgical specialties to support NHS insourcing services.
Whether you are searching for consultant insourcing jobs, exploring new clinical opportunities or representing an NHS organisation looking for additional capacity, this guide explains the specialties we recruit for, the qualifications required and how NHS insourcing works.
NHS consultant insourcing jobs involve delivering additional clinical activity through an agreed service within an NHS organisation’s existing facilities. These services may operate during evenings, weekends or other agreed sessions outside standard operating hours.
Unlike traditional locum recruitment, which generally involves filling staffing gaps, insourcing focuses on delivering additional clinical services. Depending on the agreement, this may include consultations, diagnostic investigations and treatment sessions.
For suitably qualified consultants, insourcing can provide opportunities to contribute specialist expertise through additional clinical activity. For NHS organisations, it offers a structured approach to increasing capacity and supporting waiting-list management.
Secure Healthcare Solutions recruits across the following specialties, subject to current vacancies and service requirements.
Gastroenterology Consultant Jobs: Gastroenterology consultants specialise in conditions affecting the digestive system. Insourcing opportunities may include outpatient clinics, diagnostic services and appropriate treatment pathways.
Urology Consultant Jobs: Urology consultants assess and treat conditions affecting the urinary tract and male reproductive system. Additional clinical sessions can help improve access to specialist consultations and investigations.
General Surgery Consultant Jobs: General surgery consultants provide specialist surgical assessment and treatment. Depending on the commissioned service, insourcing may support outpatient clinics and planned surgical pathways.
Cardiology Consultant Jobs: Cardiology consultants specialise in cardiovascular conditions. Additional clinical activity may support cardiac assessments, diagnostic pathways and specialist consultations.
Dermatology Consultant Jobs: Dermatology consultants diagnose and manage skin conditions. Dermatology insourcing can help NHS services expand access to specialist assessments and support waiting-list management.
ENT Consultant Jobs: Ear, nose and throat (ENT) consultants provide specialist assessment and treatment for a range of conditions. Additional sessions may support consultations, investigations and treatment pathways.
Respiratory Consultant Jobs: Respiratory medicine consultants diagnose and manage conditions affecting the lungs and respiratory system. Insourcing services may support additional specialist appointments and diagnostic activity.
Rheumatology Consultant Jobs: Rheumatology consultants specialise in inflammatory, autoimmune and musculoskeletal conditions. Additional clinical sessions can help patients access specialist assessments and ongoing care.

Consultant vacancies have specific registration, training and experience requirements. For SHS consultant insourcing roles that specify these criteria, candidates must meet the relevant GMC Specialist Registration and Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) requirements.
The General Medical Council (GMC) is the UK’s independent regulator of doctors. It maintains the medical register and oversees professional standards, medical education and fitness to practiCe.
The GMC Specialist Register identifies doctors who have met the relevant requirements for specialist registration in their field. Specialist Registration is an important requirement for many NHS consultant appointments.
Candidates should ensure their registration is appropriate to the specialty and requirements of the role they are applying for.
Find out more about GMC Specialist Registration.
A Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) confirms that a doctor has completed an approved UK specialty training programme and met the relevant training requirements.
For SHS consultant vacancies that specify a CCT, applicants must hold the relevant certificate in their specialty alongside the required GMC Specialist Registration.
Additional experience, availability and role-specific criteria may also apply. Always review the individual vacancy details before applying.
NHS organisations need effective ways to manage patient demand, improve access to specialist services and make the best use of available clinical facilities.
NHS insourcing can support these objectives through:
The benefits depend on each organisation’s requirements, the service commissioned, workforce availability and appropriate clinical governance arrangements.
Insourcing is not simply the provision of temporary doctors. It involves delivering an agreed clinical service with appropriate operational arrangements, accountability and patient safety measures.
Secure Healthcare Solutions supports healthcare organisations with workforce and clinical service requirements, including insourcing.
We work with organisations to understand their needs and identify suitable solutions to support additional clinical capacity.
Our approach focuses on connecting service requirements with appropriately qualified healthcare professionals. Delivery is shaped by the agreed scope of work, available workforce and relevant governance arrangements.
For NHS trusts, hospitals and other healthcare organisations exploring NHS insourcing services, speaking with our team is an opportunity to discuss current requirements and potential solutions.
