At TTM we’re readying for the next important event on our calendar. The Private Hospitals Association (PHA) Annual Conference is taking place on Thursday November 14th and we’re looking forward to being there to hear from some of the healthcare industry’s key opinion leaders and experts. Events like this are just one way we at TTM grow our knowledge and understanding of the challenges facing healthcare today – knowledge that helps us shape, refine, innovate and evolve our services and solutions for you, our client.

Taking place in Barberstown Castle, Straffan, county Kildare, the PHA Conference is the flagship event for the PHA – the representative organisation for the independent hospital sector throughout Ireland. With its mission of ‘Uniting Care, Transforming Lives,’ the PHA promotes quality and efficient healthcare within the private sector.

The theme of this year’s Annual Conference is ‘Empowering Healthcare Professionals: Enhancing Skills, Wellbeing and Excellence in Private Hospitals.’ The event promises an impressive line-up of speakers who will participate in dynamic panel discussions chaired by Eamonn Fitzgerald - Managing Director at UPMC Ireland,Sinead Corcoran - Chief Legal Officer at Bon Secours Health System and Brian Fitzgerald - CEO at St. Vincent’s Private Hospital.

Empowering for Excellence

Discussions will focus on how the empowerment of, and investment in, healthcare workers can help the private sector achieve excellence and growth.

At TTM, this is a subject close to our hearts. At the core of our distinctive ‘people first’ culture is our investment in the wellbeing and careers of our talent. Our candidates are important to us – so we ensure they are acknowledged, recognised and rewarded with sound support and unique, meaningful benefits. This means that, as a client, you know you’re working with quality, committed healthcare professionals who feel valued and supported to perform at their best and deliver excellence.

How Do We Support Our Talent?

TTM is proactive in safeguarding the mental health and wellbeing of our agency workers. All candidates have 24/7 phone access to our Employee Assistance Programme. Candidates can get the professional counselling, compassionate care and trusted advice they need should they be struggling with anxiety, stress, relationships problems or navigating grief or bereavement. The service can also help with practical problems such as money worries or legal difficulties.

All agency workers can also access the Laya Healthcare Your Wellbeing Portal – an online platform that prioritises our talent’s physical and mental health. All candidates enjoy a weekly schedule of fitness classes and special training plans, weekly seminars on topics such as finance, nutrition, mental health and lifestyle, a rich Content Hub of online information as well as healthy recipes.

We also show our appreciation through our Perks at Work employee discount platform. Our agency workers enjoy 30,000+ discounts and savings in over 20 different categories - from electronics to groceries and travel, as well as free online classes.

Our consultants are always just a phone call away with 24/7 on call support. We have recently added an online query capability so our workers can still access support when they don’t have time to make a call.
