Tern Group: Empowering Global Healthcare through AI-Native Workforce Mobility 

The realisation led to the founding of Tern Group in 2023. The aim was simple but ambitious: to change the way healthcare professionals flow across the world, not by skimping on corners, but by building an ethical, transparent, AI-native platform that could bring opportunity to professionals and deliver relief to struggling healthcare systems. 

Meet TERN Group: Where Talent Meets Care

Tern Group is not just a recruitment platform; it has game changers and analogue busters – bigger than any of those Silicon Valley disruptors. It is an AI-powered network created to recruit, vet, deploy, and hold health workers all over the world. The company guides nurses, doctors and care staff through issues including credentialing and compliance, visas, relocation and cultural orientation.

At its core, Tern is a bridge. It links talent pools in locations like India, North Africa, South Africa, and Central Asia to medical employers in the UK, Germany and the GCC. For hospitals and health systems, the gain is obvious: Trusted, timely access to vetted professionals. For the workers, it is also access, without obstacle or indirection, to global careers with dignity and support at every turn.

From Start-Up to Scale

In September 2025, Tern Group raised $24 million through a Series A funding, led by Notion Capital along with RTP Global, LocalGlobe, EQ2, Leo Capital, and Presight. It wasn’t just an infusion of capital; it was validation of the pressing demand for workforce transformation in health care.

Tern has since shot out of the gate. In less than two years since its inception, the platform now counts over 650,000 registered professionals on the platform, has a network of over 100 healthcare providers, and has helped thousands of professionals with relocation across the globe. With operations across continents and its presence felt in over 13 countries, Tern has already started to change the perception of the world on mobility in healthcare.

Building Trust Through Technology

What sets Tern apart is its infrastructure. The company isn’t a recruiter that has had some AI bells and whistles bolted on; it is an AI-native platform with compliance and ethics as part of its DNA. Since day one, the focus of the team has been directed to solve the hardest problems: verifying credentials, understanding complex international regulations, and fair recruitment practices.

It offers the best of both worlds: Automation and human oversight through Tern. Its AI models simplify screening and matching, but its human-anchored model for managing relocation, training and assimilation into a new culture helps professionals not only get placed in new locations but positioned to succeed. It’s this combination of brain and heart that separates Tern from an industry too often defined by opacity and shortcuts.

Challenges That Became Strengths

It was not easy to get big health systems and governments to adopt A.I.-based workforce solutions. No corners could be cut with compliance, safety or reliability and TERN wasn’t going to do that. By making its platform auditable, transparent and secure, the company converted what could have been hurdles into competitive advantages.

What used to look like bottlenecks — licensing doubts, visa antipathies, retention issues — are now areas where TERN shines. In fact, it is this emphasis on doing things right that is exactly why the company has earned trust at scale. 

The Road Ahead: Global Scale, Human Impact

Tern Group is now looking to develop further its links in areas where healthcare supply is critical – such as the UK’s NHS and the GCC’s health networks. Its roadmap also includes: increasing candidate supply and improving AI-based training modules, speeding the pace of cross border mobility.

But the vision goes further. Tern wants to remove what it calls the “friction tax” on healthcare mobility — the unanticipated costs of time, administration and wastage that impede patient care. "What Tern is doing is re-imagining what the future of global healthcare delivery could look like by moving into the healthcare workforce faster, cheaper and more humane. 

The Legacy They’re Building

Ultimately, Tern Group isn’t just about filling roles, it’s about redefining health and mobility on a global scale. A nurse moving smoothly, a hospital ward staffed on time, a patient receiving care without delay — those are when its impact is realised.

The technology of Tern may change in the years ahead, but its principles will not: trust, transparency and transformation. It is building a future where healthcare talent flows freely, ethically, and efficiently across borders. A silent engine in the background, making sure care reaches where it is needed most.

By turning complexity into clarity and friction into flow, Tern Group is changing the way healthcare systems staff their frontlines — one professional, one patient, one country at a time.
