No matter how dependable your nurses and support workers are, we know there will be times when you experience unexpected staffing shortages. We also know that you will want to remedy the problem by bringing in the highest quality replacements, which is why Nurseline’s last minute cover service can be of invaluable assistance.

We link our reputation with your own, so you can be assured that our standards are the same whether we are providing long term placements or short notice emergency cover.

What emergency mental health cover do we provide?

Nurseline prides itself in being able to provide last minute nursing and support work whenever you need it: 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Staffing shortages don’t just happen during normal office hours, so we have a dedicated out of hours service.

Our out of hours team is both supportive and professional, which means you can expect your request to be dealt with quickly and efficiently. We understand your need is urgent, so we will work with you to resolve your staffing issue as fast as possible.

Why might you need last minute cover?

• A nurse or support worker has called in sick, or taken an unexpected leave of absence an hour before the shift start time or during the shift.
• You might have already arranged cover, but the agency you booked the member of staff through has let you down last minute.
• You need assistance in staffing emergency crisis situations with increased levels of complexity and observation.
• You’ve exhausted the staffing resources of all the agencies on your PSL meaning the only alternative is for the on call manager having to provide the cover themselves.
