Prime Health Diagnostics

What Prime Health Diagnostics does

Prime Health Diagnostics Ltd is a UK private healthcare provider operating diagnostic imaging, private GP, specialist clinical, and rehabilitation services across four locations (London-Harley Street, Weybridge-Surrey, Stockport-Greater Manchester, Brighton-Sussex). The company runs alongside its sister entity Medical Imaging Partnership Ltd under common ownership led by CEO Steve Bird. Core technology centres on multi-modality diagnostic imaging (3T MRI, CT, Cone Beam CT, ultrasound, digital X-ray), with reports delivered by sub-specialty consultant radiologists within 48 hours, supported by a web-based Imaging Exchange Portal and NHS e-Referral integration.

The revenue model is a fee-for-service blend of self-pay private patients (online and phone booking, self-referral for certain scans and health checks) and NHS contracts via trusts and the national e-Referral system. The company also derives revenue from private GP consultations, specialist consultations (cardiology, gynaecology, urology, orthopaedics, etc.), health screening programmes, sports medicine, and rehabilitation services such as physiotherapy and shockwave therapy. Named enterprise customer relationships include Harlequins Rugby Club (Official Medical Diagnostics Supplier from 2025) and adjunct orthopaedic services provided with Total Orthopaedics London at the Queen Anne Street site.

Prime Health is positioned as a multi-site, quality-accredited independent diagnostics platform (CQC-registered, ISO 9001-accredited since 2023, QSI-accredited, UK CPD provider). The firm does not disclose revenue, has no disclosed venture or private equity investment, and is privately held by its operating founders/management. Strategic moves in 2023-2025 have centred on infrastructure (2024 CT scanner installation), new self-pay screening products (MRI Prostate Health Check, Cone Beam CT), and brand partnerships (Harlequins), suggesting a measured, capex-led expansion strategy funded by operating cash flow.
