Collaborating to provide care pathways
Tackling waiting lists in Pain Management
Waiting times for specialist services for chronic pain vary hugely across the UK, with some patients waiting more than two years to access the treatment they need. Agile Insourcing provides extra clinical capacity through medical, clinical and nursing provision. With significant NHS experience, our specialist team either target critical areas affecting your waiting lists or are able to manage the full end-to-end care pathway. We work closely with you to replicate your systems to deliver quality care.

Meet some of our clinical team behind the service...
I have over 18 years’ experience of working in the NHS, initially as a Consultant in Anaesthesia especially Regional anaesthesia and then expanding my interest in Chronic Pain Management to qualify for the FFPMRCA. I understand the significant challenges facing those responsible for managing the pain clinics and the inevitably increasing waiting lists. As the speciality lead at Agile Insourcing for Pain Management, I am passionate about working with NHS trusts to provide high quality clinical services which put patients first and significantly ease the pressure on your department while maintaining the standard of care you will expect.

Testimonials
The difference between Agile and other insourcing companies I have dealt with was the contact between Agile and the Trust team. This allowed issues or queries to be resolved quickly and the service ran a lot smoother than I have experienced previously with other Insourcing companies. I have not had this level of service in other insourcing projects.
