The NHS is facing huge financial pressures. An area that's been targeted in recent years is the billions the NHS spends on sourcing temporary doctors, known as locums, largely via agencies which take large fees.
Lantum's business model has changed since launch. It was originally a marketplace which helped healthcare providers connect with vetted temporary staff when they found gaps in their shifts. It has since become a wider platform for NHS workforce management.
Their software helps healthcare organisations fill the maximum number of shifts, by enabling them to manage their own network of clinicians and introducing them to new clinicians in the area. In 2021 they supported over 3,000 healthcare organisations, saving the NHS over £30 million.
Having already introduced the service for smaller clinics, they now aim to introduce it to hospitals as well as expanding the service to all healthcare professionals – including nurses and receptionists.

We work on a hybrid model that's very flexible. I'm based outside London and can commute in sparingly. The culture allows of working remotely or in-person equally well and leaves each squad to figure out themselves what works for them.

Trying to radically transform how staffing and scheduling works in healthcare is a big task with huge rewards. If something you worked on can help someone care for a patient better, decide to continue in medicine, or just have a better working life - that's why we do this job. Lantum really cares about our users and that translates to the work we do.

My onboarding at Lantum was perfectly planned. Ramp up meetings were all scheduled into my calendar in advance so that on my first day I had a clear idea of what my first few weeks in the company would look like. Alongside this any useful materials and links had all been shared with me so that I could dive right in and get started!

I have been given a lot of autonomy in the role but almost all design work is discussed in design critique sessions where we have an open forum to ask questions and suggest improvements to each other's work. It's been really helpful is sense checking designs and helped me learn about how other people work and iterate on my designs.

In the design team especially I have check ins every week with my manager and then check ins roughly every month where we go into more depth about career progression and where you want to focus your work, we also have reviews every quarter where you evaluate your progress. The signposts for mid-level designer role were made clear and I was able to become mid-level in less than a year at the company.

Everyone at Lantum is inspired and engaged with the mission to improve the lives of healthcare workers. I work on the secondary care side, which is committed to improving the lives of junior doctors.
