Diagnostic Healthcare secures £1m investment

DIAGNOSTIC imaging firm Diagnostic Healthcare has secured a £1m equity investment from The North West Fund for Biomedical.

The Altrincham-based firm has a network of centres and mobile units across the UK providing MRI and ultrasound scans.

It plans to use the cash to increase services and buy more equipment.

Managing director Liat Karni said: “This investment will support the on-going growth of the company and will enable us to provide more high-end diagnostic services in more locations across the UK, as well as expanding our leading range of medical equipment.”

The North West Fund for Biomedical is part of the wider £155m North West Fund, financed jointly by the European Regional Development Fund and the European Investment Bank. The biomedical pot is managed by Liverpool-based Spark Impact.

Investment director Dr Penny Attridge said: “The range of services being provided by Diagnostic Healthcare could make a significant impact on the provision of diagnostic imaging in the UK and abroad.”
