The team’s dedicated service didn’t falter during the pandemic. Everyone was affected and the pressure on hospitals and clinicians was unequalled. International travel was banned, and many flights cancelled, causing delays for candidates arriving in the UK. Quarantine hotels and procedures were constantly being updated and Xander Hendrix Healthcare continued to follow the latest updates and adjust its practices accordingly. It always kept its candidates updated on the protocol and helped to book their quarantine hotels and arrange transport where required. The COVID-19 pandemic also saw the government change the list of countries the agency is now allowed to recruit from internationally. The new code complements the World Health Organisation (WHO) global code of practice. Pastoral support was also adapted during quarantine to provide groceries, sim cards, buying TVs, assisting in opening online banking accounts, and picking up forms to register with the GP. Whether it supports the candidate or the family, its pastoral support has enabled candidates to focus on their jobs whilst positively impacting their stay in the area. Priding itself on its team and all their hard work, especially during what has been a very difficult period for all, the agency is also proud of its partnership with Health Action Training (HAT). A Northern Ireland health training company created by Austin May Medical and CEO, Pat Deeny and Dr Matt Jennings, techniques are drawn from actor training and applied drama to teach improved person-centred communication for health professionals. Free introductory courses for new international medical professionals to the NHS focus on covering all specialities with expert speakers from different medical fields.

The agency is now looking towards the future, with its key focus being on mental health nurses.
