Calling Suppliers of Goods and Services to the Domiciliary Care Sector
United Kingdom Homecare Association, the professional body for organisations providing care to people in their own homes, is preparing its annual Consultants and Suppliers Supplement and we would like to invite you to apply for a listing.
The Supplement provides an excellent opportunity for suppliers to publicise the products and services they supply to the homecare sector. We have had positive feedback from advertisers about the leads it generates, and from UKHCA members who like the Supplement for quick reference to a range of specialist services.
The 2006/7 Supplement will be circulated to over 1,600 UKHCA member organisations with the November 2006 edition of Homecarer, our member magazine, and made available on the members’ only area of our website. Organisations with entries in the Supplement also receive a complimentary copy of, and discounts on advertising in, Homecarer and invitations to exhibit at our conferences, where possible.
Entries in the 2006/7 Supplement cost £175 plus VAT, with the option of a second reduced rate entry. For a specimen copy of the Supplement, please call UKHCA on 020 8288 5298 or email carole.broughton@ukhca.co.uk.
For the first time this year we are offering advertisers the opportunity of having an additional half or quarter page greyscale display advertisement in the centre pages.
For further details and to apply online for an entry in the Supplement – see our application form. The deadline for submission of online application forms is 8 October 2006.
We can supply advertisers with the text of their previous Supplement entry(ies) by email, on request, to use as a template.
