Strength in Collaboration: HCL Healthcare Utilises its Long-Running Relationships to Open a New Branch of HCL Doctors

    LONDON, ENGLAND, February 08, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- MPS Healthcare's successful collaboration with sister company HCL Doctors has driven the organisation to open a branch of HCL Doctors in Llantrisant, Wales.

MPS Healthcare Managing Director Alyx Peters is thrilled with the partnership, which combines MPS Healthcare's long running relationship with all the NHS Health Boards and leading private health care providers in Wales, and HCL Doctors' expertise.

"We see an opportunity to offer doctors based in Wales a personal service, previously unavailable until now. Our experience in the Welsh healthcare recruitment market, our relationships and local knowledge put us in an excellent position to provide a valuable service to doctors in Wales." said Ms Peters.

Liz Bickley, Managing Director of HCL Doctors says operating business at a regional level has already proved invaluable to the organisation.

"We have seen the benefits elsewhere in our business of operating within a region - it enables improved knowledge, which leads to continuity of care which feeds improved patient care and increased cost saving possibilities for Trusts. This then underpins an engaged workforce who benefit from a local presence.

"By working alongside MPS Healthcare,Wales' leading supplier of agency nurses, we are in line to become a strong contender in the Welsh market," Ms Bickley said.

Liz Bickley and Alyx Peters are confident combining MPS Healthcare and HCL Doctors' resources will result in the Welsh Health Boards and doctors operating on a local level, cutting time and administration increasing efficiencies and promoting quality patient care.

"Unlike other agencies, we operate within Wales for our Welsh healthcare professionals and clients. Our local knowledge and standing gives us an extreme advantage, and we are pleased to offer this personal service to our Welsh doctors," Ms Peters said.
