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.
Its 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.
We first invested in Healthshare in 2019, and supported the merger, alongside Connect Health’s existing investment partner LDC.
