Adopting our DE model, which is a pure DE arrangement whereby the Trust pays the doctors directly, ensured the Trust had a fully HMRC compliant model in place as well as reducing operational risk.

CASE STUDY: Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust
New Direct Engagement model live in under 2 weeks
Agile was second to none in the service they have provided. When we ask for reports or functionality it is never a problem, and we don’t have to wait days, it is done there and then, with no fuss. I cannot fault Agile’s service and products. We are really pleased we made the change and wished we had done it sooner.
