Testimonials

What Our Colleagues Say…

Our colleagues, past and present, value the experience they have gained working at HCI.

“I enjoyed working in HCI and had valuable experience and exposure to different health care organisations nationally. The staff were very focused and driven to ensure any organisation who used their services got exceptional value for money. I would highly recommend working in HCI, for anyone who would like to increase their Q&S knowledge, as they will work alongside staff with over 20 years’ experience in the continually evolving field of Q&S in Healthcare!”

“My work is rewarding both professionally and personally. HCI’s focus is on improving the quality of care provided to patients. The work is greatly varied, and I have gained a breadth of experience across a number of different healthcare settings.”

“HCI has provided me with the opportunity to broaden both my experience and knowledge regarding Quality and Safety in a variety of healthcare settings.  The ongoing internal training ensures the continuous learning and development of each HCI staff member. HCI also supported me as I completed an MSc in Healthcare Management. Career progression within HCI has provided me with the opportunity to be part of the HCI Management Team.”

“ I have no doubt that my time spent working in HCI, first as a quality and safety specialist and then progressing to Director of Operations, gave me the experience, knowledge and competence to be successful in my current role as Chief Operating Officer of a nursing home group.”

“I will always be grateful to HCI for the skills, experience and opportunities that I received while working there. Over the 6 years that I worked with HCI, I was supported and given many opportunities to work with management teams in hospitals, nursing homes and disability services, to support them in developing and implementing their Q&S management systems. I developed skills in project management, leadership, report writing, planning, and communication. These skills and experiences gave me the confidence and opportunities to develop my career outside of HCI where I am now the Chief Operating Officer of a healthcare company.”
