Patient Care Locally (PCL), Community Interest Company, is delighted to announce its acquisition of East Midlands Medical Services (EMMS).
EMMS provides community eyecare services for the people of Nottingham and has gained a reputation for innovation within its field by harnessing digital solutions to meet patient needs.
PCL’s relationship with EMMS began in 2020, when both parties worked together to deliver the LLR Urgent Eyecare Service during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Since then, the partnership has gone from strength to strength, resulting in PCL’s acquisition of the company.
Luke Craig, who has been appointed Director of EMMS within PCL, commented “EMMS is the perfect addition to what is already a very strong service suite within PCL. EMMS brings new specialist clinical skills which add breadth and depth to our already outstanding portfolio.”
The acquisition of EMMS perfectly compliments PCL’s Roving Healthcare Unit service which currently operates within Nottingham, supporting the Autumn/Winter vaccination campaign. However the intention is to further strengthen EMMS’ clinical service delivery with the intention of extending the service further afield. Luke Craig continues “PCL has a proven track record of delivering excellent patient care whilst also achieving efficiencies within service provision. I am confident that we can do the same for EMMS and look forward to extending the service outside of Nottingham, benefitting the wider population of the East Midlands.”
