SHR Group works directly with PCN Clinical Directors and Practice Managers to deliver fast, compliant staffing across ARRS roles, locum GP cover, and permanent recruitment — with a dedicated account manager who knows your network.
Short-notice absences, appointment demand spikes, maternity cover, CQC compliance, ARRS funding windows, and the ongoing challenge of permanent GP recruitment all land on the desk of the PCN Director or Practice Manager — often at the same time.
SHR Group works exclusively within primary care. We understand the ARRS framework, PCN workforce planning, and the practical realities of finding the right clinicians at short notice. We've built our service around your pressures, not around ours.
Our account management model means you have a single dedicated contact who knows your PCN, your practices, and your requirements — without needing to brief us from scratch every time.
