Circle Health has acquired BMI Healthcare from Hospital Topco Limited.

Circle currently operates two private hospitals in the UK, provides musculoskeletal services to the NHS, and has begun international expansion, opening two clinics in China.

BMI Healthcare manages a network of hospitals and clinics throughout the UK, with more than two million patient visits a year. 

Paolo Pieri, chief executive of Circle Health, said: “BMI Healthcare is well-known for its highly skilled staff and clinicians, and together we believe we can set new standards on quality in our sector. We plan to invest in cutting-edge technology and the latest medical treatments to help us transform care in our hospitals.”

Karen Prins, chief executive of BMI Healthcare, added: “This partnership will build on the steps we have taken to secure the long-term future of the business and will support our aspirations to provide ever higher standards of care for our patients.”
