Coming together

Independent professions make up a significant part of the healthcare workforce in the UK. 2017 has been a year where we have faced several challenges as a country. There was a change to the Finance Bill, changing the way tax status was determined, protracted contractual difficulties between doctors and the government and there was Brexit.

These challenging times are a clarion call for independent healthcare workers to unite. We endeavour to be the unheard voice of thousands of independent health care workers. We aim to reverse the negative narrative of the media, improve the image of contract healthcare workers and ensure their representation at the appropriate levels.

We intend to continue fostering good working relationships with all our sister organisations, the NHS and its various contractors.

Our Story

So began a movement of locum doctors, creating an organisation that harnesses the uniqueness and diversity of healthcare professionals from a wide variety of backgrounds and experience.

IHPA – HPU – LDU send IR35 Guidance to NHS Trusts

Over the past few months, most healthcare agency workers and locum doctors have been unduly subject to costly misapplications of the IR35 rule. In the first instance, NHSI “inaccurately” instructed NHS Trusts to apply a blanket approach of classifying all workers as being caught inside IR35.
