Supporting Private Healthcare with Smarter Supply

Cut complexity. Protect margins. Keep patient care moving.

Private hospitals and clinics face a tough balancing act.
On one side, patients expect fast access, consistent care, and premium service.
On the other, procurement teams are under pressure to control costs, streamline admin, and avoid disruption to clinical teams.
It’s not getting easier.
Private hospital activity has increased by over 25% since 2019, driven by self-pay and NHS outsourcing (LaingBuisson, 2024).
9 in 10 private providers report rising supply costs and tighter operating margins (Independent Healthcare Providers Network, 2023).
And with over 1 in 8 patients now choosing private treatment, delays, shortages or waste in the supply chain risk damaging both trust and outcomes (Private Healthcare Information Network, 2024).
That’s where we come in.

Common Challenges We Hear from Private Providers

  • Too many suppliers. Fragmented ordering increases admin, chasing, and invoicing.
  • Lack of control over product range. Stock inconsistencies create clinical risk and waste.
  • Slow delivery response. Especially for short-notice procedures or specialist treatments.
  • Pressure to reduce operating costs without cutting quality or patient satisfaction.
  • Little visibility on ESG impact from supply-related emissions and packaging waste.
    • Mediq helps by simplifying the supply chain without cutting corners on quality or choice.
    Because the fewer moving parts, the more focused your team can stay on patient care.
