FREE BLOG To spin or not to spin, that is the question

Success stories in digital transformation projects are likely to lead to a difficult decision for healthcare leaders: do we spin this out and build a new revenue stream and let the wider system benefit? Or do we keep it to ourselves? With the amount of investment and the number of projects underway, this dilemma will become much more common. For start-ups, could this be a worrying development?

FREE BLOG What does the new exit environment mean for portfolio companies? 

The economic slowdown of the past couple of years has led to a fundamental shift in the exit environment. In healthcare services, this shift may stick. Worryingly, we are told that private equity has cooled on services, turning its attention to life sciences, pharma services and digital. The sky-high multiples paid over the past few years have scared many away, seeing a longer investment horizon and working harder on value creation to  justify expected valuations. 

FREE BLOG What’s the solution for the looming dementia wave? 

Currently there are no treatments for dementia. Money is flooding into drug discovery in the pursuit of greater understanding and a possible treatment, but in the short to medium term there is little that can be done but provide care and attempt to delay the severity. 

FREE BLOG New models for the new era 

The conservative health and care services sector is in the process of being disrupted. Traditional models are being called into question.

FREE BLOG Real estate matters for health care

This week we published our Healthcare Property Report 2024, an HBI Special Report delving deep into the challenges and opportunities facing real estate investors with a focus on the health care sector.

FREE BLOG The rise of senior living

Elderly care is no longer what it once was. The time when more senior citizens (now, we understand, considered a pejorative term in some quarters) “retired” to a nursing home to see out their later but still healthy years is no more. Nursing homes increasingly cater only to the elderly ill. How then does one cater for the elderly well?

FREE BLOG The dire state of (most) UK care homes

The UK's elderly care sector lags behind other major European countries when it comes to the quality of its real estate. Most of its care homes are old converted houses; purpose-built facilities built this millennium account for only around a quarter of care homes.

FREE BLOG Are the regions right to oppose healthcare reform in Germany?

German market experts are telling HBI that regional governments are gumming up any chance of meaningful hospital reforms. Controversial health minister Karl Lauterbach has been locked in long discussions with them, with regional governments wanting to retain hospital planning rights and fearing election-losing hospital closures being imposed on them if they don’t.
