The healthcare startup has raised funds from Midven and the Midlands Engine Investment Fund to expand its platform linking self-pay patients with private hospitals.
Get Well Soon, a healthcare startup which aims to help patients access medical specialists and self-pay healthcare quickly and easily has raised £402,000 of seed funding from Midven, part of impact-led venture capital firm Future Planet Capital, and the Midlands Engine Investment Fund (MEIF).
Daniel Gaize, investment associate at Midven, said that the Get Well Soon is an opportunity “to disrupt” the delivery of elective private healthcare in the UK.
Founded in 2018, the funding will provide Get Well Soon with the resources to expand its platform linking self-pay patients with private hospitals, clinics, and surgeons to help tackle the growing demand for self-pay surgery in the UK.
“With this investment, we’ll be able to continue enhancing the healthcare industry, providing an accessible, transparent and completely patient-centric platform that empowers patients with the most vital thing: choice,” said chief executive and co-founder Simon Radley.
The first and only private healthcare independent booking platform of its kind in the UK, Get Well Soon aims to be a quicker, more efficient, and – most importantly – clearly priced and impartial booking platform for patients who are no longer willing to wait for elective surgery.
Funds will be used to expand the startup’s range of procedures and roster of leading clinicians. It already has 50 surgeons onboard and offers treatments including orthopaedics, urology, general surgery and diagnostic procedures. The company claims to have more than 3,000 visitors a month.
