Agency staff who have registered to work with the British Nursing Association (BNA) can access all the mandatory courses via strategic partnerships which we have established with reputable institutions across the UK.
As a proud member of the A24Group, we have negotiated reduced rates on training courses for nurses. These courses are aligned to the UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF), which is required by most of our clients, the NHS and private facilities.
