Semble’s £30m Series C funding: Your questions answered

Earlier this month we announced a £30 million Series C funding round, marking a significant milestone in Semble’s mission to help healthcare professionals amplify their impact by building more connected, healthcare infrastructure across the UK and Europe.

We know this kind of announcement can prompt a few different questions depending on where you sit. You might already be a Semble customer wanting to understand what this means for you. You might be considering Semble’s practice management system and trying to understand whether this changes anything about the product or the company. Or you might be completely new to us and simply trying to understand what this is all about.

This article is here to answer all those questions clearly and simply, and to explain what this funding means in practical terms for healthcare providers today and in the future.

While headlines often focus on investment size and valuation, the more important story for us is what it enables: healthcare organisations moving away from fragmented systems and towards more connected, orchestrated care, so they can provide a better experience for their patients.

Here, we’re answering some of the most common questions about the funding, the company and what happens next.

What’s been announced?

Semble has secured a £30 million Series C funding. This investment reflects the continued momentum in the company’s growth across the UK and Europe and increasing demand from healthcare providers for more connected operational clinic management systems.

It’s an important milestone, but it doesn’t represent a change in direction. Instead, it supports what Semble has already been building: a more unified way for healthcare organisations to manage the full patient journey with centralised clinical software, from appointment through to follow-up, billing and beyond.

What makes Semble’s healthcare software different?

Semble’s difference comes less from any single feature and more from its place in the healthcare system.

It sits in at what’s often described as the execution layer of healthcare: the point where clinical decisions turn into operational reality. That might sound abstract, but in simple terms it means Semble is the practice management system where day-to-day care delivery is actually coordinated.

Healthcare doesn’t happen in a single consultation. It’s experienced by patients as a journey that moves through many different stages, most of which happen outside of the consultation itself.

They might start by booking an appointment, then attend a consultation, be referred for tests, wait for results, be booked in for follow-up care, and move into ongoing management. Each of those steps involves communication between multidisciplinary teams, systems and sometimes entirely different organisations.

H3: How Semble connects everything

Rather than focusing on just one part of the workflow, Semble connects that full patient journey, from booking and clinical notes through to communication, billing and reporting.

It is also designed to be open. Semble integrates with more than 1,200 external systems, including diagnostic tools, laboratories, billing platforms and CRM systems.

That means providers aren’t forced into a closed ecosystem. They can continue using specialist tools where needed, while still running their core operations through a single connected foundation.

What problem is Semble clinic management software solving?

Most healthcare providers aren’t short of clinic software. In fact, many are using several different systems already. The challenge is that those systems don’t always work well together.

This creates fragmentation across the patient journey. Appointments might sit in one system, clinical notes in another, communication in a third, and billing somewhere else entirely. The result is more manual work for teams, more complexity behind the scenes, and a less joined-up experience for patients.

Semble’s practice management software was designed to reduce that fragmentation by bringing core operational and clinical workflows into one platform. That includes scheduling, clinical documentation, patient communication, billing and compliance.

Today, more than 10 million patients have been seen by clinicians using Semble. The goal behind that scale is not just adoption but consistency, helping providers deliver care in a more connected and efficient way.

Who uses Semble today?

Semble is trusted by more than 1,700 healthcare organisations across over 80 specialities in both the UK and France. It has supported care delivery for more than 10 million patients; around one in six people in the UK.

From individual clinicians and specialist practices to some of the country's leading healthcare providers, Semble’s healthcare software powers care at scale. Organisations including Nuffield Health, Welbeck, Midland Health, London Doctors Clinic and ProblemShared rely on Semble to support their operations, alongside thousands of independent practices and clinics.

This breadth is one of Semble's greatest strengths. Whether supporting primary care services, multi-site healthcare groups or highly specialised outpatient providers, Semble’s clinic software is designed to adapt to different models of care while providing the consistency, efficiency and flexibility modern healthcare organisations need.

How is demand evolving in healthcare?

Across the UK and Europe, healthcare providers are operating under increasing pressure from two sides: rising demand for services and clinic management systems that haven’t always kept pace with how care is delivered today.

UK practice management challenges in private healthcare

In the UK, more patients are accessing private healthcare, with many using private medical insurance and self-pay routes, while providers are also dealing with legacy systems that weren’t designed for today’s scale or expectations.

As a result, there’s a growing shift towards platforms that can unify operations rather than add another layer of complexity. Providers are increasingly looking for infrastructure that helps them work more efficiently and deliver a more consistent patient experience.

The need for connected practice management systems in France and Europe

In France, the picture is slightly different. While patient demand continues to rise, much of the change is being driven by how healthcare is organised and delivered. Practitioners are increasingly working within group practices, specialist clinics, multidisciplinary teams and multi-site organisations rather than operating in isolation.

As care becomes more collaborative, there is growing demand for health software that can connect professionals, data and care pathways across organisations. Providers are looking for open, interoperable infrastructure that supports coordination at scale, while reducing their operational complexity.

Across both markets, the direction of travel is similar: healthcare organisations are looking for technology that helps them deliver better care through more connected, efficient and scalable ways of working.

That shift is an important driver behind Semble’s growth, and one of the reasons this funding round is so timely.

What does this mean for existing Semble customers?

For existing customers and partners, this investment doesn’t change what Semble is today. Instead, it allows us to move faster on what is already underway.

It enables Semble to move quicker on product development, expand integrations and continue to improve workflows across the platform. The direction of travel remains the same: reducing administrative burden and making it easier for healthcare teams to deliver consistent, high-quality care.

Does this support international expansion?

Yes. International growth is a key part of this next stage.

Semble is already active in France, with established teams in Paris and Toulouse, and the funding will help accelerate expansion in this market and beyond. The focus is on supporting healthcare providers in markets where regulation is complex, and where the need for modern infrastructure such as centralised practice management software is particularly strong.

What progress has Semble made so far?

Semble has grown steadily in recent years as healthcare providers increasingly look for medical management software that can connect fragmented systems and support more efficient, patient-centred care.

The company's latest £30 million Series C round brings total funding raised to £50 million, making Semble one of the most highly funded healthcare software platforms in the UK. At a time when investment in digital health has become more selective, the raise represents a significant vote of confidence in both Semble's vision and the growing need for modern healthcare infrastructure.

Semble was also recognised by TIME as one of the World's Top HealthTech Companies for 2025 and today supports more than 1,700 healthcare organisations across over 80 specialities, including leading providers such as Nuffield Health, Welbeck, London Doctors Clinic and ProblemShared.

Looking to the future

This funding round is an important milestone, but it’s also part of a wider story that is already underway.

Healthcare providers are looking for more connected, more efficient ways of working. Semble’s focus is to support that shift by building infrastructure that reduces fragmentation and helps teams focus more of their time on patients, rather than systems.

And this investment simply helps move that forward faster and at greater scale.
