Clinical Partners Acquires Oxford ADHD & Autism Centre in Strategic Business Sale

Expansion Strengthens Mental Health and Neurodevelopmental Services

Leading mental health treatment provider Clinical Partners Limited has completed the acquisition of Oxford ADHD & Autism Centre (“Oxford ADHD”), further strengthening its position as one of the UK’s largest independent providers of mental health, autism, and ADHD services.

With a workforce of over 400 specialists, Clinical Partners supports approximately 40,000 patients annually across the NHS and private sectors. This business sale underscores the company’s commitment to expanding its capacity to meet rising demand for neurodevelopmental assessments and treatments.

Oxford ADHD’s Legacy and Growth

Founded in 2015 by Dr Polly Branney, Oxford ADHD & Autism Centre specializes in diagnosing and supporting children and adults with autism, ADHD, and related conditions. With a dedicated team of 40 professionals, the clinic has successfully treated over 3,000 patients and partnered with NHS services to enhance access to expert care.

Dr Branney commented on the acquisition, stating, “As a small independent clinic, we recognized the need for investment in growth and training to meet increasing demand. Clinical Partners is the perfect fit for us, and I am confident that this partnership will allow Oxford ADHD to continue delivering high-quality care.”

Strategic Benefits of the Acquisition

Clinical Partners’ Chief Medical Officer, Dr Alice Parshall, welcomed the integration, saying, “We are delighted to bring Oxford ADHD into Clinical Partners. Polly and her team have built a trusted, high-quality service, and together, we can enhance and expand mental health support for patients and families.”

The acquisition, completed on June 20, 2023, for an undisclosed sum, marks a significant step in Clinical Partners’ long-term expansion strategy.

Oxford ADHD was advised on the business sale by CapEQ (M&A) with legal support from Freeths, while Clinical Partners received legal counsel from Keystone Law.
