What is now the UK’s largest diagnostics provider, has more than 2.5 million patients each year and works across the majority of NHS Trusts.
Diagnostics company Medica Group is to acquire Axon Diagnostics as well as its sister company, MITIS Health. Financial terms have not been disclosed.
In a statement, the group said: “By joining forces, we will become the UK’s largest clinical reporting network, supporting more than 2.5 million patients each year across the majority of NHS Trusts”.
Axon is known for its technology platform, workflows, and secure remote desktop software powered by MITIS Clinical Desktop. These tools allow clinicians to work from any appropriate location.
The combined group will be able to offer more capacity for clients across the UK, faster turnaround times for routine and urgent cases, as well as AI-enabled reporting and optimised workflows.
“The Axon team has built an exceptional business in a remarkably short time, earning the trust of clients through first-rate service, agility and a deep commitment to quality,” said Medica Group chief executive Andrew Cannon.
“Bringing Axon into Medica strengthens our position as the UK’s leading diagnostics provider,” he added.
The combined group said that it is currently working through a phased integration plan.
