Introduction to our Healthcare Practice

The Healthcare Services (HCS) team covers healthcare provision and medtech. We largely work with private providers (who can be privately or publicly funded), who are often fast-growing PE-owned companies.

We cover the full range of settings in healthcare (from primary care to specialist clinics (dentistry, ophthalmology, fertility, diagnostic imaging, etc.), hospitals, mental health, social care, elderly care, etc.) and types of products in medtech (both large equipment, e.g. MRI scanners, medtech (e.g. hip / knee prostheses) and consumables).  We also go quite deep vertically into each segment (e.g. in dentistry, we cover clinics, labs, manufacturing of dental protheses, consumables distribution, etc.) and have several Partners dedicated to digital health.

Our work splits, roughly, into 50% growth strategy (e.g. new service launches, international strategy, pricing, clinician engagement, etc.) and 50% transaction support (either sell-side or buy-side, with a bias towards the former).

We work as a European team, selling and staffing projects across a wide European footprint, and while that does not mean increased travel for teams, it does mean that you will get to get to know a variety of European healthcare markets. We also love bringing the European HCS team together from the social perspective!
