The following reviews are about our dedicated Acute nursing consultant Madie

I have had a truely positive experience working with Vanguard on my first travel nursing contract. Madison and Vicky are so very supportive and have continually checked in on me from the beginning. Madison has always been on the other end of phone if I have needed anything while on contract.

My experience with Vanguard Health has been outstanding. Madison has been my lovely agent. The process from the job offer through to arriving at the contract has been seamless. Every detail has been carefully organised, and I feel valued as a Vanguard Health employee.

Vanguard have been great from the minute I put in my expression of interest. I have been lucky enough to have been in contact with Madison and Vicky. Both Madison and Vicky have been very tentative and extremely helpful with getting everything organised for my first contract.
