How would you love to look like?: Presentation, Christoph Wend-Erdel, Clinic im Centrum

Cosmetic surgery is perhaps the only genuinely private healthcare market in Europe with consumers parting with their hard-earned cash for treatment. It is also growing at around 9% P.A. in Germany.

The shift to outpatient Strategic implications: Presentation, Romain Boichat, Corpus Health

Building strong outpatient networks is essential for all Europe's large private hospital groups. That reflects a payor-led shift away from inpatient care, but outpatient networks will also enable hospitals to get closer to patients and to build much more powerful brands. But building outpatient is a huge challenge as margins are far lower. Here Romain explores these issues and how a combination of telemedicine and outpatient will transform care delivery. Aevis runs the second largest group of private hospitals in Switzerland, a hotel group, a real estate division, and owns Medgate, which with revenue of $35m is Europe's largest telehealth operator.

Two big Finnish health care service groups, outpatient group Terveystalo and outpatient and care group Mehilainen, are both coming up for sale. Both are experts on digital health and have probably unrivalled numbers of connected patients. So who will buy them?  And what will they pay?
