WNA Healthcare 12+

WNA Healthcare, (formerly Wimborne Nursing Agency), has been successfully supplying highly skilled healthcare professionals for over two decades. Our reputation has allowed us to grow from a local nursing agency to a much bigger national Framework Approved healthcare agency. With Industry leading accreditations such as Investor in People and ISO9001:2008, a large pool of compliant healthcare members and a dedicated office team - WNA has tendered and won places on at least four major National Frameworks.

These frameworks are at present, the LPP London Procurement Partnership, the CCS Crown Commercial Services, the PPSA Peninsula Purchasing and Supply Alliance and the HTE HealthTrust Europe. Being on these frameworks has allowed WNA Healthcare to supply staff from all disciplines such as Nurses, Doctors, Allied Health Professionals, Health Science Service and Non-clinical staff.

WNA Healthcare's sister company, HMR Medical & Nursing, is based within the same offices. They specialise in healthcare professionals working within Mental Health and Learning Disabilities sectors. Like WNA, HMR is growing from a local supplier to a national supplier of healthcare professionals. With both companies in the same office, we can offer any client the perfect Healthcare staffing solution.

WNA Healthcare can now offer Healthcare positions nationwide. These range from temporary, long-term or ad-hoc depending on client requirements. Our original pool of members were concentrated in the South West of England, but this is now expanding quickly across the UK.
