Patchwork Health welcomes 17 new partnerships in eight months

Exclusive: Digital health firm Patchwork Health has welcomed 17 new partnerships since its acquisition of L2P last year.

The e-rostering software firm acquired medical appraisal and job planning software company L2P Enterprise Ltd in October 2024, to create a healthcare platform designed to address workforce needs in the NHS and private healthcare organisations.

Since the acquisition, 17 healthcare organisations, including Barts Health NHS Trust, Croydon Health Services NHS Trust, and Cambridge University Hospitals, have adopted one or more of Patchwork’s job planning, appraisal or revalidation solutions.

Dr Anas Nader, cofounder and chief executive at Patchwork Health, spoke to Digital Health News about the drivers for the company’s success.

He said: “I think particularly what resonated with this newer cohort of partnerships has been our ability to provide the end-to-end experience in workforce management.

“I also think some of the developments we’ve done in the last few months have really resonated with a lot those new partners and even older partnerships we’ve had.”

Nader highlighted the work done to integrate the L2P job planning product with Patchwork’s rostering product.

“We’ve invested quite quickly post-acquisition in the integration between these two products and what that means is NHS organisations can transfer a job plan into a roster with a single click.

“This historically has not been done in the NHS in that way, and that often means when a job plan is created, which is an annual activity, it’s a very manual process of transferring that into roster shifts. We integrated that to be a single click,” Nader explained.

He confirmed that Patchwork plans to roll out additional AI features over the coming the months.

“There are some exciting areas with AI that we can’t talk about yet that are in the making, and you will hear more about where we’re either bringing in new tools that are AI driven or infusing some of our other products with newer AI technologies,” he said.

Nader added that Patchwork’s work ties in with the ambitions of the government’s 10 year health plan, published on 3 July 2025.

“The 10 year plan talks a lot about the workforce point of view of how we can drive the right activities and the right clinicians to address waiting lists or different kind of clinical outcomes, and a lot of our work already focuses on that,” Nader said.

“The plan also mentions AI a lot and digitisation and technology, and that is completely in our wheelhouse.

“We understand that in a resource-constrained environment with an ever-increasing demand on the system.

“Any way that workforce systems like us can help support organisations to drive the right activities efficiently will be necessary for organisations to be able to support the long term plan,” he said.
