Bupa Health Services has announced a new partnership and the acquisition of specialist outpatient clinic London Medical in Marylebone High Street.
The companies say the latter’s specialist services from 96 consultants working at the centre will complement Bupa Health Services’ existing portfolio and, most importantly, create a seamless and speedy pathway for patients from diagnosis to treatment.
Dr Ralph Abraham, founder of London Medical and the award-winning London Diabetes Centre, said: ‘We’re delighted to join Bupa Health Services. Our partnership with Bupa will create significant new opportunities for us.

‘The Bupa name is well recognised globally as a standard-bearer of high-quality care, enabling us to work with world renowned doctors and offer our patients access to the very best specialist care. Our patients will continue to access the high-quality care they currently enjoy from London Medical.’
London Medical primarily specialises in diabetes treatment and management. As diabetes can cause a breadth of other conditions, it has extended its specialist services to include endocrinology, cardiology, paediatrics, ophthalmology, sexual health and weight management, as well as provide access to private GP services.
Sarah Melia, general manager at Bupa Health Services, said: ‘London Medical’s specialist diabetes services and expertise will offer customers fast access to diagnosis, treatment and support when they need it, as well as onward pathways to high-quality care at Cromwell Hospital.
‘This acquisition is part of our long-term strategy to provide more Bupa services directly to customers. We’re looking forward to expanding our specialist services into diabetes care with the London Medical team to provide more valued customers with fast and worry-free access to their healthcare needs.’
Bupa Health Services comprises 71 health clinics and the Cromwell Hospital.
This acquisition is part of its long-term strategy to provide more Bupa services directly to customers and follows Bupa Health Clinics’ successful acquisition of Blackberry Clinics in January 2024 and the Smart Clinics in December 2023, plus the current expansion of facilities
