Aya Healthcare acquires Locum's Nest to enhance NHS staffing solutions
Aya Healthcare has acquired Locum's Nest, a UK-based workforce solutions provider that connects healthcare professionals with available shifts in National Health Service (NHS) hospitals through a mobile application.
Founded by Drs Nicholas Andreou and Ahmed Shahrabani in 2016, Locum's Nest was established to streamline the process of filling vacant shifts in NHS hospitals with qualified healthcare professionals.
The company developed a cloud-based platform featuring a managed float pool system covering several hospitals and regions.
Locum's Nest will continue to operate under its own brand identity.
Aya Healthcare CEO Emily Hazen said: 'We are excited to welcome Locum's Nest to the Aya family of brands and are energised by the opportunity to transform healthcare staffing around the world through innovation, technology and purpose.'
Locum's Nest serves as a technology partner for the NHS and focuses on improving the working conditions and overall experience of the contingent workforce.
Its float pool system enables NHS Trusts to share workforce resources, promoting cost-effectiveness while supporting staff with suitable shift arrangements.
Dr Andreou said: 'We're thrilled to partner with Aya in advancing our collective mission to improve healthcare worldwide.
'Aya's resources and expertise will help us grow faster, innovate more boldly, and ultimately make a greater difference.'
Aya Healthcare, a healthcare staffing and talent software company in the US, operates a comprehensive digital staffing platform that offers various healthcare labour services.
The services include allied health, interim leadership, locum tenens, non-clinical roles, per diem staffing, permanent hiring, and travel nursing.
In December 2024, Aya Healthcare announced the acquisition of workforce solutions advisory company Cross Country Healthcare for approximately $615m.
"Aya Healthcare acquires Locum's Nest to enhance NHS staffing solutions" was originally created and published by Hospital Management, a GlobalData owned brand.
