PureHealth has announced the expansion of its platform into laboratory operations across the UK, through its Circle Health Group subsidiary, with new integrated diagnostics capabilities strengthening the group’s services across a network of more than 50 hospitals.
As part of the expansion, Circle Health Group will take over selected UK laboratory operations and infrastructure from Unilabs Limited, including hub laboratories in Euston and Cavendish Square in London, alongside a network of licensed laboratories across the country. The facilities provide pathology, histopathology, blood sciences, microbiology and specialist diagnostic services to more than 90 external healthcare clients.
