Aya Healthcare announced on January 16 the acquisition of ID Medical, a leading workforce solutions provider in the United Kingdom.
Since 2002, ID Medical has been providing the National Health Service (NHS) and other healthcare organizations with workforce solutions, including workforce management, international recruitment and temporary healthcare staffing.
Aya Healthcare is the largest healthcare talent software and staffing company in the United States.

As part of the acquisition, ID Medical will make Aya Healthcare’s technology available to the NHS and U.K.-based clinicians.

ID Medical will continue to operate as its own brand in the United Kingdom, supporting thousands of healthcare professionals and hundreds of healthcare organizations. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
According to data captured in the LevinPro HC database, this transaction represents the first healthcare staffing acquisition of the year.
