Altrix Technology, a provider of healthcare staffing, acquired TFS Healthcare and Soleus People, suppliers of healthcare staff to the National Health Service and private healthcare providers in the UK.

The acquisition was completed on 12 August.

Altrix said the deal will make it one of the largest nursing and midwifery agency staff suppliers in the UK. The deal triples the size of Altrix’s contingent healthcare workforce, according to the company.

“The use of our software empowers the agency healthcare workforce to directly manage their work-life and supports the provision of improved financial value to the NHS and other healthcare providers,” Altrix Managing Director Megan Grant said in a press release. “The scale achieved by the acquisition of TFS Healthcare and Soleus People enables these outcomes to be delivered to a much larger customer base.”

TFS, founded in 2010, initially focused on supplying mental health professionals. It now supports more than 60 trusts with a contingent workforce across various healthcare specialities.

Soleus People, incorporated in 2014, is a nurse staffing firm that provides general and specialist nurses to 28 clients across the NHS and the private sector.

Ben Cambage, founder of TFS and Soleus People, will join Altix’s board.
