Medica Group, the UK’s largest teleradiology provider and a leader in digital pathology and telemedicine, has agreed to add Axon Diagnostics to the group, expanding access to high-quality remote diagnostic reporting across the NHS and independent sector.

The integration brings together Medica’s extensive clinician network and established clinical governance infrastructure with Axon’s agile technology platform and workflow tools. Axon will also welcome sister company MITIS Health, whose Clinical Desktop technology enables secure, high-performance remote reporting widely used by NHS Trusts.

Together, the organisations will form the UK’s largest clinical reporting network, serving more than 2.5 million patients across 55% of NHS Trusts. The combined group will offer enhanced capacity across major diagnostic subspecialties, supporting both routine and urgent demand, including surge periods.

Axon’s advanced reporting technology will be incorporated into Medica’s services through a phased integration programme, enabling broader case mix access for clinicians and streamlined workflows for clients. The merger is expected to accelerate innovation in AI-enabled reporting and workflow optimisation, while improving efficiency and cost-effectiveness in line with NHS long-term priorities.

Both organisations will continue to operate as trusted partners to healthcare providers, maintaining continuity of service while delivering expanded capabilities and patient-focused diagnostic care.
