COMMISSIONERS and procurement professionals in NHS Acute and Foundation Trusts who are looking to bring in medical locums at keenest prices can find out how on January 19.

MATRIX SCM, the award-winning services procurement specialists, are holding a free webinar to show buyers of complex services how they can engage medical locums quicker, smarter and at competitive market rates.

The webinar follows on from a similar successful event in November when delegates logging in were shown how Matrix SCM’s procurement technology works for buyers needing to bring in medical locums.

“A really worthwhile webinar. It gave me a simple and straightforward look at how SProc.Net works – and how it can be used to engage medical locums,” said one delegate.

The SProc.Net system is already being used by more than 60 public sector organisations, including the London Borough of Lambeth, who have users based at Kings College Hospital and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trusts and who currently use SProc.Net to engage temporary social care staff.

Matrix SCM’s James Whitney, a Business Development Manager with more than seven years’ experience working within the NHS, will be delivering the free, 40-minute webinar.

He commented: “Our services procurement technology takes the leg-work out of buying. It’s an automated process that means procurement professionals can bet the best quality and the best market price for minimum effort and hassle on their part. This webinar will show you just how easy using SProc.Net is.”

The webinar is free, although places are limited, and it will take place on January 19, 2012 starting at 3pm. Register here.

BUYING quality continuing health care at the best market prices is a skill that can be made easier by using SProc.Net.

SProc.Net is the services procurement technology that Matrix SCM uses to procure complex services for public sector organisations, including councils, NHS trusts and police authorities.

Commissioners from NHS Trusts and local authorities who are looking to engage continuing health care at keenest prices and best quality can find out how Matrix SCM can make the process quicker and simpler at a free webinar on February 2.

The webinar is the second in a series aimed at people who procure continuing health care. After the first webinar, one of the delegates commented: “Continuing health care and the procurement of it can be a complex business. The webinar showed how much simpler and efficient SProc.Net makes the process.

“In addition, the technology ensures that there are no compromises in quality of care being procured which is a significant benefit.”

James Whitney, Matrix SCM’s Business Development Manager has more than seven years’ experience working within the NHS and will be delivering the free, 40-minute webinar.

He said: “The webinar is designed to show how SProc.Net works, how simple it is to use and how much more efficient it makes the commissioning process for those procuring continuing health care. Most important of all is that commissioners can be confident in seeing how the SProc.Net technology factors quality of care into the procurement process.”

The webinar is free, although places are limited, and it will take place on February 2, 2012 starting at 2pm. Register here.
