PULSE wins excellence award for the second year in a row
PULSE, a leading provider of healthcare staffing and services, has
been awarded Staffing Agency of the Year at this year’s Health Investor
Awards. Winning the award for the second year in a row, PULSE competed
against stiff competition from five other well-known staffing agencies.
PULSE places highly-skilled health, social care and scientific
professionals in temporary and permanent jobs, world-wide, and is
currently among the fastest growing companies in its sector.
The independent judging panel included Lord Ara Darzi, best known for
his national review of the NHS, Bob Ricketts, the Department of
Health’s director of system management and new enterprise, and Martin
Green, chief executive of the English Community Care Association.
The panel said:
“The winners are genuine specialists with a
real understanding of what is changing in the sector. They have plenty
of evidence of delivery and success, reinforced by a focus on patients.
And to cap it all they have broken into the Sunday Times’ 100 best
companies to work for.”
Commenting on the win, CEO of PULSE, Richard MacMillan said:
“We are absolutely thrilled to have won this prestigious award
recognising that the team at PULSE has continued to evolve within our
market. As well as a healthy and growing agency business, we have
adapted to meet the healthcare agenda of today by providing complex
healthcare services directly to people in their homes and communities.
We have also added value to clients through our bank business, Staffing
Partners, which has established a great track record and saved Trusts
millions of pounds. In future, we recognise the need to be even more
flexible to meet the demands of the changing healthcare market and we
aim to be at the forefront of this change.”
As a result of PULSE’s forward-looking strategy, performance in 2010
continues to exceed expectation building further on the growth achieved
in 2009.
The Health Investor Awards promote excellence and recognise innovation in the healthcare sector.
