Newcross Healthcare Solutions

Newcross Healthcare Solutions

Newcross Healthcare Solutions was founded in 1995 based on a personal mission to combine clinical excellence with human connection, per the firm's website. While no single founder is named publicly, Chief Ethics Officer Michelle Gorringe is featured as a key figure in the company's leadership. The firm provides three core services: temporary and permanent healthcare staffing for care organisations, community-based home care for individuals with complex needs, and a digital marketplace for healthcare professionals. Its proprietary platforms include HealthForceGo (for workers to book shifts), HealthForce Connect (for employers to find staff), and Anoa — an AI agent launched in late 2024 or early 2025 that automates bookings and compliance checks. The company claims to operate the UK's largest network of qualified healthcare professionals, serving clients across England including NHS trusts and private care homes. Newcross operates from a headquarters in London and Devon. The firm also produces the 'Voices of Care' podcast, hosting NHS leaders and care sector executives. In a recent episode, Duncan Burton, Chief Nursing Officer for England, discussed workforce pressures — one operational indicator of the firm's ongoing engagement with top-tier healthcare stakeholders. The company's structural differentiator lies in its combination of traditional staffing agency with proprietary technology and AI, a hybrid model that sets it apart from both pure gig-economy platforms and conventional nurse agencies. Its partnership with FuturU, a training provider offering free accredited courses, also creates a pipeline for workforce development and retention.
