Trusted care and staffing across Shrewsbury

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers across Shrewsbury and the wider Shropshire area. For families we arrange home care that helps a loved one stay safe and independent in their own home, from a short daily visit through to full live-in support. For care providers we supply qualified nurses, carers and support workers, drawing on over ten years of experience.

Our home base is in the South of England, with offices in Edgware and Bournemouth, and we do not run a branch in Shrewsbury. What we offer here is home care that we arrange and coordinate for families, and genuinely national healthcare staffing. As an REC-affiliated agency, we place vetted professionals in Shropshire the same way we do everywhere, with enhanced DBS and right to work checks, references and training completed before anyone starts, and a consultant on hand around the clock.

Local knowledge across Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury is the historic county town of Shropshire, wrapped almost entirely by a loop of the River Severn and known for its medieval street pattern and timber framed buildings. Roughly seventy thousand people live in and around the town, spread across neighbourhoods such as Abbey Foregate, Castlefields, Coleham, Copthorne, Monkmoor, Meole Brace, Harlescott and Belle Vue, alongside outlying areas like Bicton Heath and Radbrook. Care needs vary across the town, from the older terraced streets close to the centre to the newer estates on the edges, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

The town sits mainly within the SY1, SY2 and SY3 postcode districts, and familiar landmarks such as Shrewsbury Castle, the Old Market Hall and The Quarry riverside park are part of daily life for many of the people we support. Getting out for a walk by the Severn can matter just as much as help with washing or meals, and our Care Professionals are there for the everyday things as well as the practical ones.

Shropshire is a large, mostly rural county and Shrewsbury is its main hub for shops, services and healthcare, drawing people in from the surrounding villages. That geography shapes care here, so we plan visits and live-in placements around real travel distances rather than assuming everything is a few minutes apart.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital on Mytton Oak Road, which is run by the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams while someone finds their feet again.

Adult social care in the town is overseen by Shropshire Council, the unitary authority for the area. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
