About the Role
What Is an Emergency Care Practitioner?
An ECP (Emergency Care Practitioner) is an autonomous clinician — typically a paramedic or nurse — trained to assess, diagnose, and manage urgent and minor injury presentations without GP oversight.
ECPs are in high demand across OOH services, same-day access hubs, and urgent treatment centres as primary care moves toward more responsive delivery models.

OOH & Urgent Care Focus
We specialise in out-of-hours, UTC and same-day access placements — we know the rota pressures and move fast to fill them.
Compliance Handled
HCPC or NMC registration, DBS, indemnity, and manual handling — we manage the full compliance pack before day one.
Same-Day Cover
Urgent shift coverage arranged within hours. Our ECP network is one of the most responsive in primary care recruitment.

What ECPs Say
Trusted by Urgent Care Clinicians
SHR got me into OOH locum shifts within 48 hours of registering. The compliance process was painless and my consultant actually understood what an ECP does.
They filled a last-minute OOH shift on a bank holiday weekend. Response was immediate, the ECP was fully compliant. Exactly what we needed.
The OOH rates SHR negotiated were better than any other agency I'd tried. They know the market and they're honest about what you can earn.
