I’m currently conducting research to finalise a business plan which will enable us to assist the NHS/you with dramatically cutting down on agency spend and shift cancellations.

2. Do you utilise Master vendor services? ID Medical/Medacs/Retinue/Bank Partners/GRI.. If yes, please provide your Master Vend Account Manager’s email
