Capital
markets event
Assura plc ("Assura"), the leading
primary care property investor and developer, is today hosting a
capital markets presentation and site tour for analysts and
institutional investors.
Assura has identified several areas
of emerging opportunities (NHS Trusts, private providers, mental
health and Ireland) that are now becoming meaningful contributors
to our portfolio, rental income and cash flow.
Members of the senior management
team will present an update on our strategic approach to these
emerging opportunities, outlining why we are targeting these areas
alongside our existing GP medical centres and how our skills and
capabilities mean we are well placed to become a market
leader.
Specifically focused on the private
market, the presentation will detail:
· The
state of the UK healthcare market and resultant increasing demand
for high-quality, sustainable healthcare buildings in a community
setting
· Overview of trends and market opportunity in the private
market segment
· Assura's capabilities in capturing this opportunity; to
complement its existing GP centre portfolio
· An
overview of recent private market development
completions
· Recent
investments and asset enhancements within the mental health segment
will also be highlighted
There will be a subsequent site tour
to showcase Assura's recently completed, state-of-the-art cancer
care facility in Guildford.
Jonathan Murphy, CEO of Assura,
said: "There is significant demand for high-quality,
sustainable healthcare buildings in a community setting to
alleviate the considerable and growing pressures facing the NHS
whilst improving the significantly underinvested existing estate.
Each of these emerging areas is closely aligned with Assura's
existing portfolio to relieve pressure on the health system; has
attractive investment characteristics with a strong underlying
tenant covenant and offers opportunities for future growth, which
Assura is well placed to capture."
No new material trading information
will be disclosed. A copy of the presentation is available on the
