Western Provident Association (WPA) is one of the UK’s most respected health insurers.  Healthcare Practice Partners advise the self-employed, professionals and SMEs on the WPA products and services best suited for them.

Who becomes a WPA Healthcare Practice partner?

WPA Healthcare Practice is looking for aspiring individuals who are willing to work hard, someone who shares their values and has a commitment to excellence. They follow a rigorous selection process to maintain exceptionally high standards and select the right people. Based from home, and with no need for stock or staff, you will generate new opportunities within your area through networking, contacts, and introducers.

Healthcare Partners have had many varied careers before joining the WPA Healthcare Practice, but they are all superb communicators who share a passion for excellence.

Far more important than sales experience, is having the right personality, dedication, and aptitude to take responsibility for a business that has a brand their clients trust.

Healthcare Partners focus on the service they provide their clients. They are all trained first and foremost to listen and ask questions, so they truly understand the needs of clients. To give the best advice and never rush.
