Our support and advocacy enabled her to stand up for her rights and be compensated for the loss of her position.
Healthcare can be a challenging and demanding profession, and there should be an organisation that frontline workers can always count on.
Why is AMPS different? We believe that real change in healthcare STARTS with empowering medical professionals, not bureaucrats.
