Healthcare hiring isn't "hiring + extra checks" — it's a different operating model

A UK healthcare recruitment workflow isn't a normal pipeline with a DBS check bolted on. It is a parallel-track process where clinical-registration verification, occupational health clearance, professional indemnity confirmation, and Right-to-Work for international clinicians all happen alongside the standard interview and reference flow — often with a 6–14 week clinical onboarding gap before a clinician can see a patient. Generic ATS platforms aren't built for this. Treegarden's healthcare edition is.

NHS Jobs API integration

Direct two-way integration with NHS Jobs. Post Trust roles in NHS Jobs format with the correct ESR mapping, receive applications back into Treegarden, and maintain ESR-compatible candidate records throughout the process.

Clinical registration verification

Automated lookup against NMC (nurses), GMC (doctors), GPhC (pharmacists), HCPC (allied health) and SWE (social workers) registers. Real-time check at offer stage; ongoing monthly re-check on active employees with expiry alerts.

DBS & safeguarding checks

Manage Standard, Enhanced and Enhanced+Barred List DBS applications inside Treegarden. Track Update Service status. Automated re-check workflows for roles requiring 3-year DBS refresh under safeguarding policy.

Skilled Worker visa workflows

International clinician hiring is now mostly Skilled Worker route. Treegarden handles Certificate of Sponsorship tracking, salary threshold checks against Code of Practice rates, and English-language requirement evidence (IELTS / OET).

Bank and locum scheduling

Separate workflow for bank staff (substantive worker pool) and locum agencies (external supply). Rate-card management. Shift-fill workflow integrated to your roster system. Compliance status carried forward — no re-verification at every shift.

CQC audit-ready records

Single source of truth for the staff records the Care Quality Commission asks for in inspections: registration evidence, DBS status, RTW, mandatory training currency, and safeguarding clearance — exportable as a single bundle per staff member.

Frequently asked questions

Does the platform integrate with NHS Jobs and ESR?
Yes. Treegarden has a two-way integration with NHS Jobs that lets Trusts post roles in NHS Jobs format with the correct AfC banding, receive applications back into Treegarden, and maintain ESR-compatible candidate records. Onboarded staff can be exported in ESR-import format. Direct ESR API integration is available on the Trust plan and above.
How does clinical registration verification work?
At offer stage, Treegarden performs an automated lookup against the relevant clinical register: NMC for nurses and midwives, GMC for doctors, GPhC for pharmacists, HCPC for allied health professionals, SWE for social workers. The check returns registration status, expiry, conditions and any fitness-to-practise restrictions. Active employees can be auto-re-checked monthly with email alerts on status changes.
Can the system handle Skilled Worker (Tier 2) visa workflows?
Yes. Treegarden's international hiring workflow includes Certificate of Sponsorship tracking, salary threshold validation against the appropriate Code of Practice rate (currently £29,000 general or job-specific going rate for healthcare roles), English-language test evidence capture (IELTS / OET), and the Right-to-Work documentation specific to share code holders.
What does the DBS workflow look like?
Treegarden initiates the DBS application directly inside the platform, tracks application status, receives the certificate result, and stores it with a full audit trail. The system supports Standard, Enhanced, and Enhanced+Barred List checks. For roles requiring DBS Update Service subscription, monthly status checks are automated. For safeguarding roles requiring 3-year refresh, the renewal workflow triggers automatically.
Is the system audit-ready for CQC inspections?
Yes. Treegarden generates a per-staff-member compliance bundle showing: registration evidence, DBS status, Right-to-Work proof, mandatory training currency (manual handling, safeguarding, BLS as applicable), and induction completion — all timestamped and exportable as a single PDF. This is the format CQC inspectors typically request and significantly reduces inspection-prep workload.
How does this compare to TRAC or Allocate?
TRAC and Allocate are workforce management platforms with recruitment as one module among many. Treegarden Healthcare is purpose-built recruitment software that integrates outward to TRAC, Allocate, ESR or your existing roster system rather than replacing them. If you have TRAC for rostering, Treegarden plugs in upstream — feeding new hires into TRAC after compliance clearance.
