EMIS GP software profits surge

published 31 August 2012

EMIS, which supplies software to doctors' surgeries and pharmacies, has reported a slight drop in market share but revenues and profits are growing strongly.

By the end of the first half of 2012 52.2% of general practitioners (GPs) had EMIS systems installed for maintaining patient records, down from the 53.1% reported at the end of 2011.

On the financial front, though, results have been impressive with revenue growing 19% on the prior year to hit £42.3m and adjusted operating profit up 15% to £11.5m.
