We are a Buying Solutions Supplier
Athona is one of only 53 UK agencies to be approved by Buying Solutions for the supply of medical locums.

This Framework enables participating trusts to enjoy the quality and cost benefits that have been secured through the new agreement. It brings together both national and local suppliers, ensuring that high standards of compliancy are kept, while also stipulating the total fee any agency can charge.

Athona's inclusion on this framework agreement, together with our place on a number of Service Level Agreements across the UK, further highlights the quality of service we provide and the stringent standards of compliancy to which we adhere.
