Bupa is the second global player to buy in the UK healthcare market this week – its deal for dental group Oasis follows Life Healthcare’s acquisition of Alliance Medical. There are two things that stand out about the deals: the Brexit factor and the premium paid for top-rated management teams.

Life buys Alliance

As forecast here, Life Healthcare has purchased Alliance Medical, the big Anglo-Italian imaging services platform with a limited presence in a further six countries.
