HealthTech firm Lanas Healthcare Technology has launched following its acquisition of electronic health record (EHR) supplier Clanwilliam Group.
The deal to acquire Clanwilliam Group, which provides EHR solutions across the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, closed on 12 September 2025.
Clanwilliam is one of several pharmacy system suppliers which developed software to support the delivery of an electronic prescription service in Wales last year.
Howard Beggs, who founded Clanwilliam and is the founder and chief executive of Lanas, said: “Lanas has launched with Clanwilliam at its foundation, providing immediate scale and a three-decade track record of quality, reliability, and innovation.
“Our goal is to triple the size of the business through organic growth and targeted acquisitions in our core verticals.
“We already have an active M&A roadmap and expect further acquisitions to be announced in the months ahead.”
Lanas plans to focus on acquiring, scaling, and supporting proven healthcare technologies that enable more connected, data-driven, and efficient care delivery.
It is launching with annual revenues exceeding $120 million (£91m) and customers in more than 20 countries.
The firm enters the market with over $115m (£87m) in committed M&A funding, backed by global private equity firm TA Associates (TA).
Lovisa Lander, director at TA, said: “Our mission at Lanas is to ignite healthcare innovation and turn ideas into impact.
“We’re building a platform that enables healthcare professionals to harness the power of technology in their daily work and supports the next generation of HealthTech solutions.”
Apollo-managed funds, Hayfin Capital Management, and Arcmont Asset Management are also jointly providing additional capital to fuel the platform’s global expansion.
Meanwhile, in May 2024 Clanwilliam added its cloud-based electronic medical record iMedDoc to its portfolio of practice management solutions for private practices in the UK, after investing around £500,000 in adapting the technology to ensure it meets specific requirements for the UK market.
The system, capable of handling the entire patient journey from booking through to billing, is backed by a patient app and allows customers to adopt the workflow that best mirrors their preferred way of working.
