The fast-growing Newry-based private healthcare provider Duality has announced a new collaboration with Randox Health.

The move by John McEvoy and Dr Declan Morgan’s company will see Randox Health customers in Northern Ireland offered direct access to Duality Healthcare for follow-on GP appointments.

Following diagnostic assessments, Randox customers will get prompt access to Duality’s clinical services and online virtual GP platform.

The partnership will see Duality utilise space at Randox’s clinics in Holywood and Foyle to provide private primary care services, adding a further two sites to their expanding clinical portfolio.

Duality Healthcare will also offer Randox products at its existing clinics in Newry, Omagh and Ballymena.



“The partnership with Duality and Randox, with the offering of ground-breaking diagnostics combined with premier access to expert GP care, will further improve the healthcare sector in Northern Ireland,” said John McEvoy, executive chairman of Duality Healthcare Group.

“The opportunity to also further expand our clinical network by providing a full private primary care offering to the general public from Randox’s Holywood and Foyle clinics at affordable prices and at times when people require immediate access to GP’s more than ever, is something the Duality team is very excited by.”

David Ferguson, chief operations officer at Randox Health, said: “We face growing demand for our innovative diagnostic services across the UK and Ireland and we know that primary care across Northern Ireland in particular is under significant strain.

“This can cause delay in both addressing clinical conditions and supporting improvements in overall health.

“The support of our customers is of paramount importance, and we have complete confidence that Duality, utilizing our detailed analysis and reports, will provide a premium, comprehensive and consistent primary care follow-on service to every person who chooses to use Randox’s services in NI.

“With Duality also providing primary care services in our clinics in Foyle and Holywood, I believe this collaboration marks a significant milestone in further advancing affordable and accessible testing and primary healthcare to the people of Northern Ireland.”
