Bupa Health Services has continued its acquisition strategy with a partnership and the purchase of London Medical, a Harley Street specialist outpatient clinic.
London Medical primarily specialises in diabetes treatment and management but has extended its specialist services to include endocrinology, cardiology, paediatrics, ophthalmology, sexual health and weight management, as well as provide access to private GP services.
London Medical’s specialist services will join Bupa Health Services’ existing portfolio of 71 health clinics and the Cromwell Hospital from this month.
Bupa added the acquisition is part of Bupa Heath Services long term strategy to provide more services directly to customers, and follows the acquisition of Blackberry Clinics in January 2024 and the Smart Clinics in December 2023, and the current expansion of facilities at Cromwell Hospital.
Sarah Melia, general manager of Bupa Health Services, said the business was very pleased to be acquiring London Medical and looked forward to welcoming the team.
“London Medical’s specialist diabetes services and expertise will offer customers fast access to diagnosis, treatment and support when they need it, as well as onward pathways to high quality care at Cromwell Hospital,“ she said.
“This acquisition is part of our long-term strategy to provide more Bupa services directly to customers.
“We’re looking forward to expanding our specialist services into diabetes care with the London Medical team to provide more valued customers with fast and worry-free access to their healthcare needs.”
Dr Ralph Abraham, founder of London Medical and the London Diabetes Centre, added the partnership with Bupa would create significant new opportunities for the business.
