What medneo does
medneo UK is a UK-based diagnostic imaging services provider operating two distinct business lines from its London headquarters. Its primary business is mobile diagnostic imaging, deploying a fleet of more than 20 high-specification mobile MRI and CT scanners (14 Siemens Aera 1.5T MRI units and 6 Canon Aquilion ONE PRISM Edition 640-slice CT units) to NHS Trusts and private healthcare providers across England, Scotland, and Wales under managed service contracts. The company employs directly-hired expert radiographers (minimum 8 years' experience, trained in contrast imaging and IV cannulation) and delivers turnkey solutions that include scanner, staff, and clinical reporting, with reported operational performance of 98.9% uptime and 99.9% staff reliability.
The second business line is the medneo London Centre, a state-of-the-art private diagnostic imaging facility in the Harley Street Medical Area at 155-157 Great Portland Street, offering MRI (including a Siemens Skyra 3T scanner), ultrasound, health screening packages, biparametric and multiparametric prostate MRI, mole checks, brain health assessment, and Arthrosamid knee injections to self-pay and insured patients (accredited by Bupa and other major insurers). Pricing is transparently published online, ranging from £265 for ultrasound to £1,595 for cardiac MRI with contrast, with same-day appointments and 48-hour reporting.
medneo's business model combines NHS managed service revenue (primary, high-volume, contract-based) with private self-pay and insurance revenue (higher unit price, direct-to-consumer via website, DrOnline self-referral partnership, and clinician referral portal). The company was founded by Andy Spellman in 2018, acquired by CVC DIF (a Dutch infrastructure fund manager) in August 2024, and transitioned leadership to Ella Tracey as CEO effective March 2025. The company holds CQC Outstanding rating, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 27001:2013, Cyber Essentials Plus, NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit compliance, and NHS Supply Chain accreditation.
