Parkwood Healthcare
Parkwood Healthcare was established in 1997 and includes a nursing agency and a patient transport service (National Ambulance Service).
Our branches are located in London, Hertfordshire and Manchester.
Parkwood Healthcare is a leading provider of nurses and healthcare assistants. We have been awarded a place on the new NHS Framework Agreement for Nursing and have lots of opportunities for agency workers both in the NHS and the private sector.
We recruit RGNs, RMNs, Substance Misuse Nurses, CPNs and Support Workers / Healthcare Assistants. As well as hospital work we have lots of vacancies in the community (RGNs, CPNs and community drug and alcohol teams).
We work in partnership with large organisations providing a health screening service to help reduce absence and improve the health of their employees.
We have a reputation for excellence and only place agency members in their preferred speciality. We offer flexibility, ongoing support and competitive pay rates. Our members can choose from full-time and part-time work and many choose to work with us on full-time lines of work.
We work in partnership with all of our clients and are fully committed to meeting the expectations of each and every client and agency member.

Local Involvement Networks (LINks)
Set up by Act of Parliament, LINks are the new structures to take forward patient and public involvement in improving local health and social care services. They have statutory powers and will mobilise individual and community networks and energies to bring service providers and commissioners to account and ensure that they listen to the voices and views of people who use their services.
There is a LINk for every social services area and each one is supported by a Host organisation under contract to the local authority. Parkwood Healthcare hold 3 LINk contracts for the London Boroughs of Harrow, Lewisham and Greenwich which have now all been in place for between 10 and 15 months. Each has a small team responsible for providing administrative and technical support, advice and guidance.
The three LINks are now well established and each has an Executive Committee at its core which will be responsible for producing a Workplan based on local priorities for improving health and social care services. It is most important to ensure that those involved in the Network (the Participants) are communicated with and given the opportunity to be included in the activities which will help the LINk achieve its outcomes. Participants can undertake Enter & View to observe the quality of services, can sit on provider committees and represent the public point of view, attend meetings and speak out on issues of concern, and join the Executive Committee and its Task Groups and represent a community of users, carers and other constituencies.
Each LINk aims to be diverse and inclusive and to represent as wide a cross section of the community as possible and with our expertise and support they will have the tools to achieve this.
