What Groupe Profession Sante does

Groupe Profession Santé is a privately held French media-and-services group focused on certified healthcare professionals. Headquartered in Malakoff (near Paris) and registered as a Société par Actions Simplifiée (SAS) with €10,389,481 of capital, the group operates as a subsidiary of nehs (formerly known as nehs) and employs 251–500 staff. Its portfolio centers on three flagship media brands: Le Quotidien du Médecin (founded 1980), Le Quotidien du Pharmacien (founded 1990), and Infirmiers.com (founded 2000), collectively reaching more than 460,000 registered readers with 4M monthly page views and 2M monthly visits.

The group's product surface extends well beyond publishing. It operates two vertical job boards (EMPLOIMédecin and EMPLOISoignant) covering 170+ healthcare professions, a training platform (Infirmiers.com-Formation / MEDI formation) graduating 5,000+ learners per year, a scientific advertising and content-production agency (Agence Profession Santé), a prescription/equipment content platform (Médivia), and a calendar of proprietary events including Prix Galien, Les Rencontres de la Cancérologie Française, La Journée de l'Économie de l'Officine, and Focus Vaccination. Distribution is omnichannel: 3 news websites, 2 print journals, 22 social media accounts (~500,000 followers), 18 weekly targeted newsletters (25% average open rate), webinars, web TV, and podcasts.

Groupe Profession Santé monetizes through three primary streams: (1) advertising sales — multi-year media kit contracts with pharmaceutical and healthcare industry advertisers (named logos include AstraZeneca, Sanofi, MSD, Pfizer, GSK, AbbVie, Bristol Myers Squibb, Viatris, Biogaran, Giphar, OCP, Lehquin-Mediolanum, and Thermo Fisher Scientific); (2) recurring B2B subscriptions — job board listings across 170+ professions and e-learning/in-person training course sales; and (3) event and agency revenue — sponsorships and custom communication operations delivered through Agence Profession Santé and proprietary conferences. The go-to-market combines an enterprise field-sales motion (advertising sales team and scientific ad agency) with event-driven and community-led engagement. Customer concentration is anchored in the French pharmaceutical industry, with a secondary institutional/hospital-administration client base (e.g., AP-HP, MNH).

Broad incumbents

• Doximity: US-based physician professional network with news, CME, and recruitment products; comparable HCP-first media and recruiting business model, with similar pharma sponsorship and verified-professional community dynamics.
• M3 Inc. Japan-based global healthcare professional media, market research, and clinical platform operator (MRK, MDLinx, Doctors.net.uk); comparable business model of monetizing HCP audiences through advertising, market research, and recruitment at global scale.
• Havas Health & You: Global health-focused communications and creative agency network; comparable to GPS's Agence Profession Santé as a specialist pharma and healthcare communications services provider serving the same blue-chip pharma client base.

Direct peers

• Cegedim: French health tech and data services company that publishes physician-targeted media and digital tools (including the Egora platform for doctors), directly overlapping with GPS's HCP media and software offering to French physicians and pharmacists.

• What's Up Doc: French medical media brand targeted at medical students and young physicians; competes with GPS's brands for the next-generation HCP audience and pharmaceutical recruitment and training spend.
• APM International (APM News): French health news agency and information service for healthcare professionals and institutions; competes with GPS's editorial/news offerings as a subscription-based health news provider to French HCPs.

Regional players
