"This acquisition is part of our long-term strategy to provide more Bupa services directly to customers."
- Sarah Melia, General Manager at Bupa
London Medical primarily specialises in diabetes treatment and management, with extensive specialist services such as endocrinology, cardiology, paediatrics, ophthalmology, sexual health, and weight management, alongside access to private GP services.
These services will complement Bupa Health Services’ (Bupa) existing portfolio from August 2024. Notably, this acquisition creates a seamless and time-efficient pathway for patients from diagnosis to treatment.
At the moment, Bupa comprises 71 health clinics and the Cromwell Hospital. This most recent acquisition is part of the private healthcare provider’s long-term strategy to offer more Bupa services directly to customers.
“We’re very pleased to be acquiring London Medical and look forward to welcoming the team to the Bupa family. 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,” explained Sarah Melia, General Manager at Bupa.
She said: “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 & London Diabetes Centre, added: “Our partnership with Bupa will create significant new opportunities for us. The Bupa name is well recognised globally as a standard-bearer of high-quality care, enabling us to work with world-renowned doctors and offer our patients access to the very best specialist care.”
