HCML has acquired ILS, a specialist in rehabilitation case management and care for catastrophically injured children and adults, for an undisclosed sum.
ILS has 40 specialist case managers who will all be transferring across to HCML as part of the acquisition.
HCML added the deal will afford both ILS and HCML’s employees access to a wider pool of specialist case managers and resources to better serve all clients.
HCML told Health & Protection that following the deal while joint ILS CEOs, Karenmarie Smith and Kate Maclean, have stepped away from the business, Sarah Ransome, will continue in her role as managing director and transition across to HCML with the team.
James Murray, CEO of HCML, (pictured) said: “The strategic acquisition of ILS further strengthens HCML’s position as a providers of some of the best case management care in the UK.
