Heart & Lung Health

What Heart & Lung Health does

HLH Group, formerly Heart & Lung Health Group, is a UK-based subspecialist teleradiology reporting firm headquartered in London. The company delivers contracted radiology reporting services for population-level NHS screening programmes — primarily the NHS Lung Cancer Screening programme, alongside cardiac imaging, prostate MRI and uroradiology, and a newer neuro screening offering. Its stated positioning is "the UK's leading subspecialist radiology reporting firm," built on access to specialist radiologists across the lung, cardiac, prostate, and neuro subspecialties, reinforced by training, education, and scan/protocol optimisation services for NHS radiology staff.

The underlying technology stack is a cloud-hosted, vendor-neutral platform integrating Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), Radiology Information Systems (RIS), and Electronic Patient Records (EPR) with embedded AI capabilities for predictive analytics and reporting workflow automation. The platform requires no on-premise installation, which materially lowers deployment friction for NHS trusts operating legacy estates, and is positioned as AI-integrated for imaging modalities spanning CT, MRI, and structured/text reporting. Certifications covering the stack include CQC registration, Cyber Essentials Plus, Cyber Essentials, and ISO 9001.

The business model is B2B managed services sold to the NHS through three procurement frameworks — NHS Commercial Solutions, East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub, and NHS Supply Chain — under which individual NHS trusts contract HLH for teleradiology reporting. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set via standard NHS framework commercial terms. Revenue is concentrated to a single buyer category (the UK NHS), with no disclosed private-sector, international, or non-NHS customer base; no funding rounds, ownership details, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
