Case Study

Scaling Ireland’s Leading Private Urgent Care Network

MatchMedics partnered with Laya Healthcare to deliver a comprehensive recruitment strategy, starting with a single clinic in South Dublin in 2017 and supporting its growth into a nationwide network of five clinics.
We sourced highly experienced Family Medicine and Urgent Care Physicians, building each clinic’s medical team from the ground up and ensuring consistency in clinical quality, governance, and patient care.
Impact:
– Growth from 1 to 5 clinics across Ireland
– 25+ doctors recruited
– Creation of a fully scalable clinical model
– Strengthening Laya Healthcare’s position as Ireland’s leading private urgent care provider
This project highlighted our ability to deliver multi-role, multi-site recruitment across primary and urgent care, providing clinicians with the right blend of operational experience, patient-facing expertise, and governance knowledge.
Over the course of the partnership, MatchMedics successfully recruited over 25 doctors, enabling Laya Healthcare to establish itself as Ireland’s leading private urgent care provider while building a robust, scalable clinical model for continued expansion.
