In December 2024, independent healthcare providers Connect Health and Healthshare announced plans to merge. The deal created a new multi-disciplinary provider of healthcare services, spanning musculoskeletal (MSK), surgical services and diagnostic services: Cora Health.
Having invested in Healthshare in 2019, we supported the merger, alongside Connect Health’s existing investment partner LDC.
The new company’s combined resources and expertise will offer NHS Integrated Care Boards (ICB) greater capacity and innovation, and a more integrated solution across a broader range of services. In doing so, it hopes to drive better patient experience, clinical outcomes and value for money, at a critical time for the health service in England.
