British AI Clinical Workforce Platform TERN Group Raises €20 Million In Series A Round

The round was led by Notion Capital, with participation from RTP Global, LocalGlobe, EQ2 Ventures, Leo Capita, PreSight Capital, Lord David Prior, the CEO of AXA Health, and Tom Stafford.

Avinav Nigam, Founder and CEO of TERN Group says, “Every Trust we meet tells us the same story: they need qualified staff now, but they cannot risk patient safety or compliance. Our platform gives them speed without compromise, predictability without cost inflation, and sustainability where locum dependency has become unsustainable.

“TERN Group’s mission is for every placement to set off a chain reaction: a nurse arriving on time means a ward runs smoothly, which means patients get treated faster. This raise enables us to make those chain reactions happen at scale, across the UK and beyond.”

Founded in 2023, TERN Group is a global talent mobility platform developing a Clinical AI Workforce system. Operating across India, Germany, the UK, the GCC, and Japan, it helps healthcare providers hire faster, more compliantly, and at scale, while supporting professionals to start their global careers with confidence.

With an 18 million global healthcare worker shortfall predicted by 2030, hospitals are stretched thin and rely on costly locums, with the UK NHS alone spending over £10 billion annually.

Healthcare systems worldwide face a common challenge: growing demand for care, but limited access to qualified professionals. International recruitment is often slow and bureaucratic.

TERN Group addresses this at scale, using AI-driven workflows alongside human-led support for training, relocation, and settlement to streamline the hiring and integration of healthcare talent.

Itxaso del Palacio, Partner of Notion Capital says, “TERN Group is tackling one of thehealthcare industry’s most urgent structural challenges: affordable, reliable and sustainable recruitment. By combining compliance with AI-driven efficiency, they are proving that workforce delivery doesn’t have to be slow or fragmented. It can be predictable infrastructure, which is why they are already becoming the trusted partner for healthcare systems in the UK and beyond.”

TERN Group serves over 100 global healthcare clients, including 18 UK NHS trusts, two of which are among the five largest in the UK. In the past year, the company expanded from one to six core markets, now operating in Germany, the UK, UAE, KSA, Japan, and the USA.

Over 650,000 professionals from 13 countries have registered to access transparent job information, upskilling opportunities, and direct roles with reputable employers.

Mark Hackett, CEO University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust says “TERN Group is helping us address critical workforce shortages by providing a compliant and predictable pipeline of international doctors. Their platform brings much needed speed and structure to a process that has traditionally been slow and fragmented.”

With the new funding, TERN Group will expand its UK operations, strengthen partnerships with NHS trusts and care groups, and accelerate the development of its Clinical AI Workforce platform, enhancing compliance automation, workforce planning and system integrations.

The company will also continue investing in international talent preparation clinically, linguistically, and culturally to ensure professionals arrive ready and remain engaged long term.
