Healthcare Practice - Lynda BuntinJob prior to becoming a franchisee: Company Secretary (administrative role included buying PMI)

Advice to anyone thinking of becoming a Healthcare Practice Partner: Be enthusiastic, persistent and resilient. The business is built on trust which is not instantly gained. The more activity you undertake the more successful you will become. Listen to all the advice from your fellow partners on what works for them.

What Our Franchisees Say

My advice for anyone looking to become a Healthcare Partner is just do it! If there is a practice available near you then absolutely go for it. The training, the support, the help, the advice - it’s been the best decision that I’ve made.Ross Le Jeune - Healthcare Partner since 2016


Attending the open day at Head Office was extremely useful and helped reassure me that I was perusing a good opportunity. It allowed me to learn more about WPA, meet a number of staff and experience the culture and transparency of the organisation. It certainly played a crucial role in my decision making process about becoming a Healthcare Partner.Catherine Bennett – Healthcare Partner since December 2014


Attending an Open Day and seeing the slick and technologically advanced operation behind the scene convinced me I was making the right choice. By the time I left the Open Day, I had made up my mind that WPA was a company which lived the business values that matched my own.David Rollock – Healthcare Partner since September 2014
