Ishani Patel - Co-Founder, Lantum

 

Lantum is a total workforce platform aimed at reducing spend and empowering staff in healthcare. Its platform connects staff to organisations in order to fill in shifts efficiently and improve recruitment retention and system sustainability. It is used globally and in the UK’s National Health Service, where more than 1,000 GP practices, clinics and hospital departments have saved over £13 million.

It is disrupting the medical labour market by providing the healthcare profession with seamless tools to manage staffing and e-rostering solutions, offering efficiency savings and staff empowerment. For areas that are struggling to recruit, Lantum enables better connectivity, engagement, talent retention and resilience to the system.

The company has doubled in size since joining ELITE in 2016. One of the biggest challenges it faced was creating a culture balanced between being friendly and relaxed, and having a focus on its aims. ELITE was able to provide guidance to Lantum on how maintain its friendly culture, while ensuring employees kept their focus.
