• respected in the field;
• expertise in connecting with specialist health care professionals, providing critical information in a way which will meet quality expectations and command the confidence of sector stakeholders;
• over 100 magazine and journals published every year, 39 specialising in healthcare;
• knowledge and experience in publishing advanced practice content through the series of curated articles referenced above;
• a reputation for editorial independence and excellence;
• has existing infrastructure, including standards, quality assurance and assessment procedures to deliver the advanced practice journal, which could be scaled appropriately to meet demand;
• access to the data intelligence, contacts and networks essential to successfully delivering the required work which could not be readily accessed by other suppliers (as the previous publisher of advanced practice articles).https://health-family-contract-search.secure.force.com/?SearchType=Projects
