Lantum
Lantum, formerly Network Locum, is an English company based in Shoreditch, London producing a platform and suite of tools for healthcare organisations to find and manage their clinical staff. History Lantum was started by Melissa Morris in 2012. who previously worked at the management consulting firm McKinsey & Company. Morris came up with the idea of Lantum in 2012 when she was working at McKinsey & Company and then at NHS London. She saw how expensive and wasteful the staffing industry was in healthcare and wanted to improve it. Lantum removes manual steps through automation and costs a fraction of a recruitment agency. The business started out in 2012 as a blog for doctors and named #1 healthtech start up to watch. The business now works across staff types, UK-wide and can be used in any healthcare organisation. In 2016 Network Locum changed their name to Lantum to reflect their strategy to becoming a software business rather than a labour marketplace. Their investors include Piton Capital, BGF Ventures, Samos and Beringea. In November 2017, Lantum was selected by NHS England to join the NHS Innovation Accelerator, a program which highlights leading technologies within the NHS and helps them scale. It
