Emis increases revenue by 11 per cent

The Leeds-based firm said revenue from continuing operations increased to £47.1m in the six months ended June 30, compared to £42.3m the year before. Pre-tax profit remained stable at £12m.

Chief executive Chris Spencer said: “So far 2013 has been one of the busiest periods ever for Emis Group. We expect this to continue as the accelerated roll-out to GPs of EMIS Web, our transformational healthcare system, is maintained.

“We will also be redoubling our efforts to join up GPs, other clinicians and pharmacists engaged in healthcare in the community and extending our reach into ophthalmology-related solutions and beyond that into specialist and acute care.”

He added: “We are pleased to remain completely aligned with government policy as expressed recently not only by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt but also by Care and Support Minister Norman Lamb whose comments in June around the greater integration of health and care services across the country give further encouragement for EMIS Group’s continued development.

“EMIS Group continues to trade in line with the board’s expectations, with continuing strong revenue visibility and improved profit performance in the second half principally resulting from the growth in the EMIS Web GP estate.”
