The Scott Partnership was selected by HCL based on its track record of delivering effective communications campaigns, and extensive experience in the NHS and wider health and social care landscapes.
HCL, which was formed in 2003 as a staffing agency, today supplies over 2,000 temporary and permanent doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, qualified social workers and administration & clerical staff to public and private sectors every week. As the largest provider of temporary health professionals to the NHS, the company has recently restructured its business to align with the changing needs of the service.

Headquartered in Cheshire, with offices in USA and China, The Scott Partnership works in life sciences and healthcare for a diverse client portfolio ranging from international brands to niche players, including Synergy Health and Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust.

Recent key client successes achieved across the group include two Queens Awards, an R&D 100 Award and a PharmaVOICE 100 Award.
Claire Billenness, Director of Sales & Marketing at HCL, said: "From the outset HCL has aimed to provide industry leading solutions to modern workforce problems. With our recent business restructure, and changes within the NHS, it is crucial for us appoint a communications agency that will support our strategic growth and deliver specialist, effective communications campaigns, The Scott Partnership was an obvious choice."
