UK-based workforce management company Patchwork Health has acquired software provider L2P Enterprise.

The acquisition will create an end-to-end suite of tools designed to address the workforce needs of more than 100,000 clinicians across more than 200 National Health Service (NHS) and private healthcare organisations.

Patchwork Health CEO and co-founder Anas Nader said: “Both L2P and Patchwork Health are led by people who have firsthand experience of the challenges we’re tackling and a passion for making lasting improvements in healthcare.

“L2P shares our customer-first culture and our relentless pursuit of innovative solutions to support our healthcare colleagues.

“Together, our complementary suite of software solutions will deliver smarter staffing across the sector.

“This acquisition sets the stage for a new phase of growth, and we are eager to support even more clinicians and healthcare organisations together.”

Patchwork Health offers software solutions that enable digital rostering, flexible staff banks and agency management, as well as data and analytics tools to support smarter staffing decisions.

L2P serves as an appraisal system for doctors in secondary care and a job planning tool for medical staff, Allied Health Practitioners (AHPs) and nurses.

The combined offering aims to streamline workforce processes, unlock critical data, reduce silos, minimise operating costs and increase productivity.

It aims to support quality patient care that aligns with clinical service plans and budgets.

L2P CEO Jim McLaughlin said: “Patchwork Health is a natural partner for us, sharing the same integrity, passion for healthcare and customer-focused ethos.

“Our staff have already been collaborating on shared customer projects. This acquisition enables us to build a software company worthy of the important work its users do.

“With our talented teams, we are excited to unlock the benefits of interoperability and take big strides forward in optimising clinical resources, time, and talent.”
