PocDoc Recognised for Outstanding Growth as the Winner of the Prestigious BVCA Vision 2025 Award

PocDoc, a Cambridge-based HealthTech company specialising in creating accessible preventive care through digital diagnostic tools, is the winner of the early-stage category at the British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (BVCA) Vision 2025 Awards for the Midlands and East. The accomplishment recognises the success of PocDoc’s Healthy Heart Check in redefining the UK’s healthcare landscape, along with their rapid growth and ESG practices.

PocDoc Recognised for its Rapid Scale-up and ESG Commitment

Backed by MMC Ventures and Molten Ventures, PocDoc achieved a record-breaking pre-Series A funding round, which fueled its rapid scale-up with 10x year-on-year UK revenue growth and the expansion into multi-year NHS contracts. The award also recognised PocDoc’s commitment to manufacturing in-house, providing shorter lead times, higher margins, and better environmental outcomes aligned with the NHS Net Zero goals.

PocDoc has also been applauded for its dedication to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and its use of digital diagnostic tools to combat systemic health inequalities across the UK.
