Press release -

ID Medical welcomes Florence Nightingale Foundation CEO to its Milton Keynes headquarters

ID Medical was honoured to welcome CEO of the Florence Nightingale Foundation, Elizabeth Robb to its Milton Keynes headquarters on 31 July 2013. Elizabeth’s visit offered an exclusive opportunity for the company to showcase its unique inner workings across all departments, how it stands out from the competition and its commitment to supporting the Foundation.

Following the recently published review into the quality of care and treatment provided by 14 hospital trusts in England by Sir Bruce Keogh, Elizabeth Robb’s visit to ID House was timely for ID Medical to present the ways in which it is supporting the NHS through its complete workforce solutions and recruiting medical professionals not just on their acquired knowledge and skills but also their values, compassion and caring nature.

As a true philanthropist, ID Medical continues to increase its charitable work and is looking to work with the Florence Nightingale Foundation in supporting qualified nurses and midwives throughout their career. The Foundation awards scholarships to advance the study of nursing and to promote excellence in practice; an area in which ID Medical is keen to make a positive difference through participating in the Foundation’s annual student days.
