Be the face of the Healthcare Practice within your local community
The WPA Healthcare Practice Franchise is one of the UK's most respected health insurers. The Healthcare Practice is a wholly owned subsidiary of WPA, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
The Healthcare Practice Franchise Opportunity:
WPA Healthcare Practice Franchisees advise on WPA’s products and services. They are the face of the Healthcare Practice within their local community. A person with integrity, who exemplifies the Healthcare Practice's exceptionally high professional standards.
Meeting with new and existing members, you will advise, promote and tailor WPA healthcare policies to their exact needs. A unique advantage over other private medical insurers who rarely encounter their customers face to face.
For those with the passion and determination to run your own business, taking on a franchise makes perfect sense. Operating within a proven model reduces the level of risk while giving you the flexibility to build a long-term, sustainable business with you in control.
With more than 70 WPA Healthcare Practice Franchisees across the UK, the Healthcare Practice know how to support the people who buy into their business.
Could you be a WPA Healthcare Practice Franchisee?
The Healthcare Practice are looking for aspiring individuals who are willing to work hard. Someone who shares their values and has a commitment to excellence. They follow a rigorous selection process to maintain exceptionally high standards and select the right people.
Based from home, and with no need for stock or staff, you will generate new opportunities within your area through networking, contacts, and introducers.
WPA Healthcare Practice Franchisees have had many varied careers before joining the Healthcare Practice, but they are all superb communicators who share a passion for excellence.
Far more important than sales experience, is having the right personality, dedication, and aptitude to take responsibility for a business that has a brand their clients trust.
Healthcare Partners focus on the service they provide their clients. They are all trained first and foremost to listen and ask questions, so they truly understand the needs of clients. To give the best advice and never rush.

What Our Franchisees Say
Attending an Open Day and seeing the slick and technologically advanced operation behind the scene convinced me I was making the right choice. By the time I left the Open Day, I had made up my mind that WPA was a company which lived the business values that matched my own.
Attending the open day at Head Office was extremely useful and helped reassure me that I was perusing a good opportunity. It allowed me to learn more about WPA, meet a number of staff and experience the culture and transparency of the organisation. It certainly played a crucial role in my decision making process about becoming a Healthcare Partner.
The Healthcare Practice is unique… I’ve never worked with a company that look after you so well. Joining them was the best decision I have made in my life, hand on heart.
